So, I'm looking for a good used winch and could use some tips on what to look for and how to test. I've searched here, but didn't find such a thread. I'm sure this will be helpful to myself and others along the way.
I've found one winch, unknown brand, on a XJ for sale. The guy said that he would be willing to sell it if I take it off, but it has electrical problems. No telling what the problems are, could be a loose cable or could be something more serious. He didn't sound very knowledgeable. What should I look for?
The other one is a RAMSEY PRO PLUS 8000LB WINCH, WARN SNATCH BLOCK AND TREE SAVER. Guy said it works great, looks great and the remote works great. He's asking $350.
I know to look it over cosmetically and check the cable for rust, kinks, etc. Other than that I'm clueless.
Thanks,
