so how is the mile marked winch holding up? i assume it is ok, just curious since there can be a lot of "go warn or go home" in the jeep crowd.
Mines an Si9500 and I'm happy with it. I quite frankly don't care what the Jeep crowd thinks, they're a goofy bunch anyways.
It's the same winch I bought used and had on the Ford. I've been abusing it and it's been exposed to the elements, for a year and a half now in everything from 100F+ desert heat to -40F. It's been through blizzards and plenty of salt spray and was beat to death on the very rough riding spring ride Ford F800.
I see a lot of Pierce winches on the haul and tow trucks. My Milemarker has a lot faster line speed than the pierce winches and probably a lot faster than what Towcat uses. His winch is probably rated for double the pull mine is too.
Fast line speed isn't good for all applications but it's fine for what I do.
