So i got around $300 to burn

I have narrowed it done to two items.....

1- Engo 9000 winch (cable)

2- AEV snorkel

Which should i get? I see the need for a winch. And they currently have some good deals on these for as low as $265 shipped. And it got some great reviews. Might save my butt from being stuck one day.

I also see the need for a snorkel. I love to play in the mud and hydro locking my new jeep scares the poop out of me. So maybe its safe insurance....

What do you guys think. I think the hard time im having is the fact that the snorkel is over $100 bucks more for a damn piece of plastic and a few brackets then a good reviewed winch.... that kinda makes me And AEV price locks there already over priced stuff so you cant use a discount member code on it to make it a little more easy to swallow....

 

I would go with the winch. unless you are driving in DEEP water, then go with the snorkel. but you might need the winch to get out of the deep water. A snorkel doesnt help much when you are sitting on the frame in mud.

 

Winch is what I would do.

 

Between the 2, I'd go with the winch.

 

Personally, I'd go with the winch. One doesn't often just happen to find him/herself in deep water and you should check the depth first, but the unexpected foray into Stuckville happens a bit more often and generally unexpectedly. Until the winch comes in, keep a snatch-rope handy.

 

Just a little logic: if you will be wheeling in places where you need a snorkel, then you probably need a winch. Not good to have water running over the hood and no winch to get you out.

 

I agree with everyone else, go with a winch.

 

Winch now, Snorkel in a month! LOL you know your gonna!

 

Winch for the win!!

 

X2 Go with the winch. You know the saying..." Better to have and not need...."
