I've been eye balling this winch I saw locally, its got like an inch thick cable and its mounted in its own bumper, its currently on an f-350 dually with one of those trash compactor beds, lol it sticks out about 2 foot in front of the truck... I'd want it so I can hook the cable up to a bridge and pull my truck straight up, lol that would be funny as hell, I think the winch came off of a skider...

What would be a good winch for a single cab truck like mine? I dont need anything too heavy, just good enough to get me unstuck from time to time....

I have one of those Napa comercial batteries for buses and tractors on my truck I think its got like 950 CCA.... makes my starter scream, lol....

if it you want something that will pull you out from time to time then i highly suggest either Warn or MileMarker in the 8000-9500 lb flavor.

warn = http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/premium_series.shtml

milemarker =

I think that i am going to have to double check the numbers on the used winch my dad just picked up the other week, he's mounting it on a reciever of sorts to be used on a trailer and whenever he needs it on another truck, or when i need it .

Just picked up two Milemarker 10,500 hydraulics for 400. just need the install kit at around 200 to 250 apiece.

Plus, I should have the Dana 50 all mounted into the Bronco by Sunday. Grinding rivits suck.
