wats the best winch out there

Don't know if it's the best but my Gorilla 3000 works just fine for me.

wats the worst hole u been in with urs
i was in a hole the was bout to bottom of pipe in mud.. and it just stripped the gears housing out.. but there was alot of suckion.

2000lb superwinch never let me done

The first thing that truly tested my Warn RT30 was an old 5 in 1/2 thick steel pipe that was a clothes line pole that was about 5 ft deep. My dad's Warn 2500 stripped the plastic gears so he called me. With my first pull it went twice as far as my dad's did. After repositioning my hook and using a piece of wood as a pivot point(to help pull it up and out), it sucked it right outta there. Before that day, my Dad was saying I was wasting money on a winch that big and didn't need all that metal gears and sealed housing crap. Changed his mind in an instant. Now his winch is crap and mine didn't even slow very much. A true testament to metal gears. Got mine for $360 for the winch with free shipping from allterrainonline.com . Great company and fast shipping(FedEx).

I know I could have gotten out of it but I'm not one to romp on it until I'm out. I have a winch so I use it, why break things when I dont have to?

Big Daddy I like your style! When you have it, USE IT!!

ya if i know i cant get out.. i just get the winch out and use it.. except the last hole i was in.. i just sink. then just tryin useing winch.. but it just stipped the housing out...

I think I read something on here where someone was talking about recalls on some warn winches? Maybe yours is one of those! You may can check into it and get it replaced. Everything helps....

ya but i got ahold of warn on friday and they said the piece was 28 bucks plus shipping. so i dont know. i might jsut get the part. and sale it and then buy a 3.0rt

It works for me!!

big-daddy
is ur 3000 all sealed.. and does it have all metal gears like the warn 3.0

I dont know anything about it really. It did not say it was sealed but I have had it in water a few times with no problems. I sealed up the connector box, but as for the winch I dont know.

o well.. i goin to just rebuilt it and i al ready got it sold for 250 275. if it works..

I also have a 2.5 warn..... what can strip on these.....I didn't know this was an issue.

the end housing.. which if it does. it is 31.51 from monstercommercesites.com, im goin to get my fixed then sale it..

RULE 3300 That is the best most waren dealers can get them. I had my bike and two others hooked to mine and winched us out it took three hours and bent the frame. If it can do that and bend the frame that means that it is no TOY it is the real deal. STEAL GEARS.

hey a rule 3300.. im never heard of themm... who makes. them
