I do remember picking up a Hemi Pred for $99 of coarse and the winch for $49.

I took the winch out and hooked up to power to make sure the winch and remote worked(it did) and boxed right back up. Lol.

Another mud mower may be in my future!

Iv'e got one of those 2500lb ATV winches just sitting new in the box for around 7 years now. It was $49.99 back then. Just have not found a project for it yet. It was going to go on a mud mower build I did back then, but of coarse I sold it to soon.

Be a shame if you opened it up, applied power and found out it was no bueno (made on a Monday by a hungover employee who enjoyed a weekend bender).

EDIT: You tested it, good man.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Tested a few days after purchase. Boxed right back up. No way I was going to let it sit without testing first, not from china freight!

I've seen maybe 100 Wranglers over the last few years with Badland winches installed. Are they as good as Warn? Maybe but probably not constant long term use, especially if one is going constant Spin Tires every weekend.

 

[Grizzlymi]

I could see a BL on a weekend warrior, but a serious Jeep rig, Warn all the way.

That coupon is a curse. It calls to me. I don't need that motor. I don't need to build another motor. But $120?! I need to buy it just out of principle. Then get a whole hop-up kit and do that. Ugh... I feel a fever coming on.

The only cure for the fever is to buy one. Works better than any vaccine or pills.

The 13Kw Predator generator is kind of tempting at $1200. Would definitely be enough for most hobbyist DIY welders and chop saws. Especially since it has 240v on board which will open up options for higher amperage welding, which very rare in this hobby. I mean at most, 1/4" plate would be the thickest most will weld. 16ga-3/16" sheet metal is the most common for us, maybe thinner. Most of our tubing is 14ga or thinner.

At most, the Titanium 170 would be the largest MIG welder any of us would need realistically. Which would do all of that without hitting the thermal shutoff for duty cycle...within reason.

I've got no idea what you're talking about, or the meaning of that! Clue me in please.

Its a dumb SNL skit from 2000.

Very bad late night "comedy" show that hasn't been funny in 30 years. Usually on Saturday nights.

Norm Macdonald was the last comedian on that show.

Celebrity jeopardy was the best.

Actually I do know what SNL is. Watched it for about the first 5 or 6 years when it first came out. Haven't watched it in 40 years or more. So the Cowbell reference
made no sense to me.

 

[Edwin Spangler]

Not. Quite. Sure. Yous. Got. The. Joke. If more cowbell can be referenced, then referenced, more cowbell shall be.

Everyone knows SNL sucks anymore. -But now IM stating the obvious.
