I was wondering if anone had any experience with this winch or maybe has one on there JK and have used it.
Did it work well?
I picked up one yesterday for $300 and I was wondering do these take oil? I couldn't find any drain holes or fill holes but I took off the clutch engagement and looked inside and everything lookedlike it was greased.

The 8000 is a great winch.
Warn winches don't require lubrication, but can be overhauled (and consequently regreased) in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing.

Yeah I got the winch used and it needed a winch control which was 100 bucks but I priced the winch out new and stores want $1300
So I tried it out last night and it seems to work good I havent pulled anything real heavy but I am sure it will do fine

one more question for everyone, I was wondwering how thick most winch plates are?
I am going to make one seeing as I am a safety manager at a welding shop.
Anyone know the thickness?
