Default F.Y.I. Harbor Freight 12,000lb Winches on Sale

Harbor Freight Tools

Original price_499.
Marked down to _399.
W/ coupon ONLY_299

I guess I'm getting a winch. Hell for 3 bills, I'll take a chance. I'll barely use it anyway.

I plan to silicone the hell out of it to keep the nasty elements from deteriorating the electrics.


Will the 12,000lb winch fit the ARB bull bar/winch bumper?

I don't know much about the harbor freight winch line, but make sure the handle housing is rotatable. The ARB has very limited options for handle locations.

But we feel more manly when people can see the wire coil on the wire spool in the front.
But if that winch works - more power to ya.

Uh ... Please note that the extended warranty does you no good when you're stuck on the trail miles from civilization.
