Winches? Does anybody run them on their rigs? And if so what weight range. A few guys around here have them. I know i've used my 3000# on my 4 wheeler to pull buggies out of small ditches. |

i have the warn 4.0 and it has gotten me out of trouble many times. 4000lb pull or 8000lb with a snatch block. winch with cable adds 30lbs. wouldnt go riding without it. |

I second that. 4000# is the minimum I would use. Even it will not pull you out a lot of situations with out the help of the Buggy Engine.. |

The little rubber cover on the brake pedal came off and my foot got stuck in the pedals. I went flying down a very steep/short hill and bashed a tree wearing only my lap belt. Had a disgruntled doctor that is getting tired of stitching up people from "haspin acres". He kept telling me to sell the buggy while giving me that botch stitch job using only 8 stitches. |

The ole doc musta been really pissed. I could prolly do a better job than that. They used staples in my head when I bashed mine open. |
