    I wondered what the new specs were on one and googled xrc8 smitty bilt winch, there's some up to 4 or 500 dollars, saw one there for 219

    Looks like there's enough cable on that thing to double up with a snatch block if you needed more pull. Cool find there! ; )

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
