P1000 Winch question

[Bones]

Hello All,

A friend of mine gave me a new 2500 lb Warn winch. It's was intended for a Kawasaki Brute Force. Would this be adequate for my Pioneer in most situations? Carry a snatch block to double it?

I would not put less than a 4500 on a 1000. A lot of people have struggled with recovery using a 4-5k winch in a single line pull and drawing down the battery significantly. Low battery voltage can cause issues with the power steering and transmission function. I've used my 4500 with a snatch block several times and I have been impressed with the pulling power.

Little things single, big thing double it. if you burn it up your out nothing or mount it on the trailer.

Don't wast your time with it . Put a 4500 on it. If someone would give me car tires I wouldn't put them on my truck.

I would not go to the trouble of a 2500 lb winch install. Save up for a 4500 like Todd said.

Good analogy. Guess I'll ebay it and get the 4500. Brand new in the box with mount for Brute Force.
