Default Q9000 winch review

This winch is great. I put it on my jeep last weekend and took a wheeling trip yesterday. Some guy dared me to take it down in this really janky swampy hole and, me being me, I went for it. I made it almost all the way through and came to a dead stop. I was kinda sideways In the hole. The door touched the ground when I opened it haha. I hooked up the winch to a telephone pole, and got in the driver seat. I have it a little gas and pressed the winch it button. It snatched me out in about 2 seconds. The winch has a lot of power and it would take a lot more to bog that thing down. Here's pics after I was out. You can actually see where my tires were stuck spinning in the first picture.

That's sweet and good to know. I have had mine for a month now and have not got to use it yet.

Very nice!! May I suggest getting rid of those low hanging side steps? I wonder if you would have even got stuck if you didnt have the anchors down

They are actually the rampage rock rails that fold to a step. Someone accidentally folded that one down. This is the up position

Hahaha. The things are great but my girlfriend is really short and she needs the step to get up. She leaves hers down and my side is up and it's annoying haha
