I'm thinking about getting this . Free shipping too.

That is one hell of a deal, MileMarker must be putting on the low price preassure. Warn is a top notch brand though. Go for it.

 

looks like a awsome deal I think there are selling them so cheap because no one is buying the M8000 it will not pull most really stuck trucks out of the mud all my buddys are now buying the new 15000 my one buddy had or i should say has the 8000 and he smoke it trying to get unstuck

 

You would need to loop the cable back to the winching vehicle to get slightly more than 8,000 pounds. In the end, it dimishes the reach of the cable. IMHO.

 

Warn makes great stuff.

I have never been unable to extract a rig because it was an 8k Warn.

15000 pound winches are gross over kill, their line speed is not tremendously fast and they likely will not in any off the shelf bumper.

 

since i know nothing about winchs, whats a good Warn winch ?

 

Not only that, they are substantially heavier too.

 

so the M8000 is a good one ?

 

This is the cheapest I have ever seen them. I ordered mine last week. Except I got package number #2 instead.

 

It is a great winch. Warn is sort of the premier winch comp. for 4x4s. It is rated at 8000lbs max line pull, plenty for a 4Runner in all but the most desperate situations. If you think you need one go for it, but please, learn how to safely use it first.

 

it's a great deal, but i'm not in the market for a winch right now. however, this might be one of those deals that are too good to pass by. i'd really like to regear and save some coin for lockers and/or a SAS.

 

I have done just fine with my M8000. I pulled a Jeep, a 92 Mini and uprighted a rolled 86 4Runner.

WTF you have small truck 8K is fine. Do you plan on pulling the Chevy out of the levy? I hear it's Dry.

 

4x4Lamm,
thankx man,, yea, when i do get one, id like to get that synthetic rope, and order some tapes or something, to lean the "safe" and "proper" way to use it.
sschaefer3,
cool, so now i know that M8000 would be good..

 

Just ordered the M8000 too doing the pkg #2 Can't go wrong!

 

Have you looked at how much the synth rope costs? OMG!!!

Synthetic Rope

 

i never checked on price, but aint they safer then the metal rope ?

 

Much safer but.......$$$$$$$ Damn!

 

That whole "You will be beheaded if you use wire rope" thing is over blown. If you use good judgement and maintain the cable, it will last forever. Before Warn started selling the syn rope they claimed that their winches could ONLY use wire rope because it acted as a heatsink for the drum. Well as soon as they got the syn line their opinions changed. Wire rope and a blanket is much cheaper then synthetic, just dont be dumb

 

Yeah, Warn wants a little too much for their rope. I got my rope from
HERE which was a lot cheaper.

 

I was going to suggest that or Amsteel Blue from these guys.
