For anyone thinking of buying a winch or cable, snatch blocks, etc. you should check these folks out.

They build their own winches and have pretty good prices.

Funny how their engagement lever looks like Warn. I think there are maybe 2-3 different winch manufacturers out there and they all supply the different companies. Also notice how the 9K lb winch looks to be the same as their 10K lb winch. Even the motor specs are the same. I've always wondered why. Are they just charging MORE for the same product with a higher rating?

Pierce has been around forever and are quite common on wrecker trucks.

Also, the motor specs aren't the same on the 9k and 10k. Check out the reduction ratios.

I have the pierce 9000 it's frickin awsome, and all it takes to make it a 12500 is a $160 gear set.

Oh. I see. BTW, weren't you supposed to be LEAVING the 'zone?

No. I am taking a big step away from the monitor though. However, it happens that I need to get my mail and pay bills from the road, so I visit. I smelled some inaccurate specs.
