To anybody who ever thought about buying a winch:
Yep, I've anchored my ATV to a tree and used the 2500 lb Warn in combination with a couple of ****** blocks and a 30' tow strap to pull a Camaro out of a ditch about five years ago.
I actually considered buying that exact one, but went with a Tuff Stuff 12,500lb Waterproof winch. I've only used it twice and its been good to me. I got it for $330 awhile ago and it comes with a 3-year warranty. Also it was one of the few that are actually waterproof, not just the cover. Looks pretty sexy too.
