Hey but once it is officially trash, it is fair game!

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Since you already stuffing two in your pockets, you might as well shove a third one in there for me. I do not have a winch either...yet.

When I worked for GM, they held warranty parts for 30 days. If they were not called for in that period, the dealer would throw the parts out. they always gave the mechanics first pick though.

the parts get thrown into big dumpsters and they get hauled away somewhere. metal is thrown into one, plastics another and it gets recycled.

i am not saying the winches are definitely getting scrapped but that they very well may do some time down the road. i actually saw a freedom panel getting scrapped last week and i couldn't see anything wrong it.

lighten up dude. i don't bite the hand that feeds me. just kiddin around. it just kills me to see a skid full of winches with 2 years worth of shit on top just sitting there, that's all.

i see parts for our jks all the time. hard tops, soft tops, bumper covers, side steps, and just last week i stocked 2 off road winch mount bumpers. those f*uckers are pretty heavy!

if i was a thief, i could of built my jk one stolen part at a time.
