you planning on a different winch for the front?
Yup, 8274.
what is that one rated at?
yeah, but is it going to be able to pull that big hunk o' american made steel? :O
he may need a snatch block depending on the situation, but it should pull without one, it will might just be a little slow
8274's are the fastest winch warn makes and I know for a fact they have enough cajones to get the job done. Not to mention they hold more cable than any other winch.

I dunno what they are rated at, we have one on the front of our new turd and everyone has always said 12,000 but I don't think it is rated that high. They are definitely the fastest at 73.4 feet per minute! :eek:
You will definitely need that snatch block. :D
Is the one you are going to put on there an old one, or a newer model.
The one I am using came with a "free" 74 CJ5 attached to it, its prety old. I'll probably go through it and grease the gears. It might need to have a solenoid or two replaced as well. It worked when I got it, I used it to help pull the jeep off the trailer.
That's a hellufan acquisition there! Don't let Doug around it, he will end up 'greasing' the gears for you. :eek:
is that your HAD or a stock one? If it's stock go ahead and cut the rest of the tube off and replace it with some sch40 :D
It used to be a HAD, then I bent the tube bottoming it out on a crossmember I should have trimmed. It was then replaced with sch 40. The piece I cut out probably weighs around 10-15 lbs :laughing:
nice...carry on!
I vote sch80. little heavy but not too bad
