BlackPrintz Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Another Valley rig, this is great. Welcome. Robert mentioned the AGM on March 9th. Any info on place and time, I'd like to plan on coming up for it, it's a 3 hour run but I might be able to convince my wife and son that we should get some culture, or at least a fun day out.

It is not just a simple "buy it and bolt it on" addition for your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just a simple "buy it and bolt it on" addition for your truck. Agreed, you need brackets that will support the tugging force of the winch, bolted to stock bumper would lead into injuries. 8000lb winch on a 3500-5000lb hitch will be the same ( dangerous ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadtripper Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Spell check is always good. Lol Bolting a winch plate onto a Sonoma/Colorado is definately not a bolt-on-and-go affair. Trade it in for the Cherokee that has the solid front axle you want , already installed from the factory! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPrintz Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 And if you're looking for winches, check with Peck's in Digby 245-5858, Tracy Peck and Jason Riley are both serious wheelers and they've got some of the best prices and great service. Just recently, someone on the NSJC forum was looking at the 8000# Warn that was on sale at PA and Peck's regular price was better. If you're in the Valley, they also install what they sell. There are other spots to check in HRM as well, CVO, APJ, and Steeles Chrysler (Jeep stuff). Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
