Winch questions...
I am planning to get some kind of winch for the H2. Hopefully in the not too distant future.
What size do you all get? I have been reading, and it seems the rule of thumb is GVW X 1.5 for the minimum recommended rating. That would be 12,900 for an H2, so it would seem that choices would be a 12,000 for light minimum use, and a 15,000 for serious use?
I seem to remember reading that the front hitch mount is only intended for 9000 pounds. Is that right?
I have never had a winch before, and will be on a bit of a budget. Contrary to what most think about the guy with the Hummer, I don't have lots of money to spare. I'm just a guy with with a family of six and a house!
