Harbor Freight/Badlands Apex 12000

Synthetic. It's safer and it doubles as bondage rope after you get back to camp.

Well apparently youre just a little bitch if youre afraid to use steel cable for some bondage fun.

I rank that right up with fisting. I'll watch but I'm not joining in.

So wire or synthetic rope and why?

On a trailer, I like steel rope, great for skidding logs and taking abuse that you are going to do to a trailer.
on a Rig, I like "rope", just easier to deal with.

My 7 owner YJ that I am refurbishing and building a mild wheeling rig out of has a 9000 lb badlands that looks to be 100 years old. Still works. I want to replace it because it's so ugly not because it doesn't work.

The Irate Parts Counter will be online by the end of Oct, 250+ vendors and 300k+ parts avail.

Warn, Smittybilt, Rugged Ridge, DV8, Westin are a few of the brands off the top of my head

If you have a winch you're looking at, aside from HF brand, PM me a part number and I'll get back to you with a price.


Edit: I've been wanting to try one of the Smittybilt Gen3 winches.

Hf sells on Amazon, is there a chance they could route it through your store?

You can be the first.

I almost bought one when they came out, but Amazon had the Smitty X20 10k for $430 so I went with that. The HF only comes with a 3 month warranty and it was like and $100+ to add the two year. Might still be worth it, but the Smitty does what I need.

I know it's not the winch you're talking about but I've got 2 of the 12k HF wire rope winches on trailers, one of them going on 8+ years. It's dragged anything I've needed up on the deck without issue. Would buy again.
