No, no, not a new girlfriend, an actual winch! It is not a Warn but my family picked me up a 10,000lb Champion that is attached to the carrying tray. It cam eiwth snatch strapas and the feeder. It looks legit and I am happy to have the one that mounts to the hitches.

Now its Fab time!;D

sweet, i could go for a freebie right about now. You'll have to report back on the quality of the Champion. I had a harbor freight one for a while and it was suprisingly reliable.

I've had a 7500 lb Champion for 4 years and it's never let me down. It' slow, bu has always done the job for $299.

I Googled Champion Winch one time and it came up as coming off the same assembly line as the Mile Marker Winch. Made in the same factory in China by the same company that Mile Marker contracted to build their product. Probably a spin-off usng their blue prints too. If that is all true, the Champion will most likely serve you well.

Hey Thanks Sprdy, I was just up in KC for the Halloween party downtown. Good stuff. You DO have a lot of very attractive ladies there!!!!

Or maybe it was the Halloween costumes, all scantly clad.

I am stoked on the Mile Marker specs, Its a 10,000 pound with rollers mounted to a tray with snatch clip all the wiring for front and rear mounting. They got it at Sam's Club. Go figure!
