EVO 1/4 Pounder and Warn Powerplant

[MTG]

The newer 1/4 pounders have access to the winch bolts making it easy

Yeah, well guess what? I have an old one and my hands do not fit in the hole to tighten the winch bolts, but they barely fit in the holes to tighten the bumper bolts.

Lol....still sounds like a hassle vs being able to just pull the grill. Worth it though for a nice bumper though.

I wouldn't trade for any other bumper.

 

[StrizzyChris]

I unbolt the winch and move it out of the way

Thats what I did, when I found out it wouldnt fit with the winch on.

It's no more than 5 minutes .Not a big deal. Certainly not a deal breaker

I wouldn't trade for any other bumper.

Agreed...great bumper!

I was sold till on the Warn HD powerplant $1,700, until I realized I would have to drop another $240 for synthetic rope. Am I missing something, is that a lot for a winch? The air compressor is cool, but there are so many other cheaper options for air compressors.

I think you are going to pay more than that for synthetic rope for the HD. The winching weight and length of the rope should be over $300, without a safety thimble.

It's not cheap. A lot of guys run Viking line and thats about $400-500 for a 125' line.

What's every bodies take on the Zeon series?

That's what I was thinking. $270 is the price range of an 80' line for a 8k winch...

And it's 125' and rated for a 12k winch?

 

[crippledpetey]

Rated yes, but only 80'... You can get longer but I chose 80'.

Gotcha. When I spring for a synthetic line, gonna go with a safety thimble and 100', hence why I am still running steel. Haha

 

[olram30]

would one go with 3/8 x 80' or 100' rope with the 9.5 powerplant?

oh good, i found a deal on warn synthetic line and for what ever reason the 100' costs less than 80':idontknow:

Well that's weird :crazyeyes:

I run Viking line but WARN makes a quality product as well.

If the deal is online for the world to see, would you mind placing a link to it here, or on the for sale thread. I know a few folks here are looking to switch to synthetic also :thumb:
