Thats good to know. I picked up the 12k with the synthetic rope because I hate cable and it came with more cool gadgets like the wireless remote and a cool big hook.
Fabbed up a little removable winch mount so I can store the winch in my garage when not in use, and so I can hook it to anything with a hitch. **** is heavy doh

Or hopefully, just help friends and family.
Bo it was a genuine Polaris winch. From China. Or maybe Mexico. But rated for 3500... on flat ground not uphill over rocks the size of a Prius etc lol.

Ive got an old *** ProComp 15k winch on the blazer. Run a harbor freight 12k on the flat bed and ran an HF 3k on the four wheeler. Haven’t had any issues with any of them.

Hopefully, you don't need any of them this weekend.

No bead locks so 20-25psi. They are e rated tires so the sidewall is stiff. Generally run them about 35psi.

I bet you can get lower. I ran 11 with the 35s on 15s for the Toyota. 20 is better than nothing, but if the wheel is narrow you can drop a bit more, imo

I think it's a 17x9. It used to run 38x15.50x20's on a 15" wide rim. But the dude said it wasn't a bro truck.
