Best Warn winch under 500 dollars

[mrblaine]

I don't know if all their mounts are the same, but can't the little bracket be reversed so the controller is over the drum? My old VR8000 can, but it's not perfectly centered though.

I did just buy that new upgrade kit but I plan to mount the controller under the hood.

I am more than capable of making that mount put the contactor any place I like. I can't easily replicate the bridge which was my main consideration.

 

[mrblaine]

I need to do some research, perhaps my existing controller will mount on the plate if its sold separately.

We have drill bits and grinders. We can make it mount to the bridge.

Have seen you in action a couple times, have no doubt!

Oh, I know you are. I meant that for @CaliSteve , I just forgot to use the Reply button to quote him. He may be just as capable as well, I don’t know.

I like that bridge too.

Forgot who you were dealing with eh? View attachment 213121

Where did you find that kind of deal? I just got screwed out of a deal on a Zeon 10-S

I bought my tie plate from Winch Service Parts for ~$60 shipped:

I have the same winch as mrblaine.

I dunno if its the best but I got this HS9500 for $100. Yes, I know it needs to be rewrapped

Ya'll add the "for" in there and it ruins the joke. Someone asked if their were any TJ around on 35's ready to go offroading, said he was ready to buy and had 5 grand. The first reply to him was the only way he would see a rig like that under 5 grand was if someone laid 50 100 dollar bills on the hood. Not for under 5 grand, under 5 grand.

You made a nice score on that winch.

That's a damn good deal - I recently bought the same winch for $600, though it did come with a brand new 100' Warn Spydura synthetic rope. I need to get a bridge mount myself and want to run it on my Dodge...

Doh! Right over my head,

My Wife won a 9.5ti with a $1 raffle ticket.
But it probably cost us more than $500 to get to and from the 4x4 event .

What is the best winch over $500 dollars?

Too heavy to pick up and set on the bills. Just imagine the same picture flipped over.

You had me freaking out while I was thinking you had just bought a Warn 9.5xp for less than $500.
