Warn?
9.5ti Thermometric 9,500lbs

or the PowerPlant HP with an air compressor

The 9.5ti is on sale at Quadratec for $969.00.

Guys, guys guys.....I can shop myself :clapping:

Which one and why???

:p

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

isn't the 9500 overkill for an H3???

would an 8000 be adequate???

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

I have alway heard, and lived by when I had a Winch, that its rating should be 1.5 times the GVWR of the vehicle it is mounted to. The H3 is 5850, so the winch should be at least 8775. So 8000 is too small, and 9500 is bigger than required. A 9000 would be ok, but I would go no lower.

I like Warn, but there are other reliable ones out there.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

The Warn Power Plant weighs 100lbs and the 9500 weighs 89lbs.

Not much differnce considering it has an air compressor built in.

Excellent info as usual:D

Mile Marker has a relationship with HUMMER and the Military. It seems as thought they are not as widely used as Warn. Any particular reason?

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

I'm thinking that powerplant would be a pretty sexy thing to have in an integrated style winch bumper??

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

And you wouldn't need to borrow my compressor anymore. ;)

Get a 9.5. Never know when you'll need to pull out a stuck H2. :jump:





BTW. I still hate you. :fdance:

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

:giggling: :D :D :D


Sorry Beeb's, I couldn't resist.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

Cool :cool:



I'd want a Warn with synthetic winch line.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

not if you gotta drag a busted H2 around ;) :giggling:

Re: WHICH WENCH TO BUY???
 

Wench?
Why would anyone want to buy a wench when you can just rent one for a few hours and save all kinds of money.(even after you pay for the motel room):D

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

I'm getting the 12k warn powerplant before next summer. That's my choice.:perfect10s: . I want the extra power if I need it.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
 

You might need a 13K to pull out DRTY; them thar H2s are heavy....

Only thing I would say to look out for with the PowerPlant HP on a Hummer H3 front end is how much airflow does it prevent from reaching the radiator. It appears to stick up pretty high and could block some needed air into the radiator, causing the vehicle to run warm; in the desert areas.

I am running the Mile Marker SE12000 and am very happy with it. I got it through a buddy of mine that knows winches and he highly recommends them. I also know that you can get this same one for about $550 shipped. I also like having the extra power in case I need it.
