Anybody got a 9k or better winch they would entertain selling? Looking for one ready to run with synthetic line preferred.

I had the predecessor to that Superwinch and it never let me down. Wasn't setting any speed records but pulled strong. Unless you're going to be winching regularly it's a great choice

I checked out the SW that Chapman suggested. Looks like a good buy for the money with pretty solid reviews. I'm not so worried about blinding fast line speed as long as it's dependable.

Thanks guys.

Harbor freight 12k for $289.

I actually just bought one of those. I have a MileMarker 9000 that needed a new solenoid/contactor, new cable, and new fairlead. By the time I bought all thay I figured I'd just get a HF 12k. I know a guy that has about 4 of them and he's never had one not work.

Thought you had the old Superwinch/Comeup 9000?

The winch mounts between the frame rails so cutting isn't really an option.
I didn't really want to buy another winch, but if my Viking winch didn't fit I wasn't going to drop another $600-1000 on another winch for a truck I may not even be keeping.
