Good luck.. 5333143-DartNewStance5-3-09013.jpg (47 downloads)

I LOVE having a winch....use it all the time...makes loading and unloading a breeze,,,, What size trailer did you get ? looks nice,,,with all the diamond plate... Doug

The come-along will make you want to shoot yourself, ask me how I know.LOL Trailer looks great Mike! I got tired of all the work with the box trailer and the big expensive truck it requires to pull it, I switched to a Durango and borrowed an open trailer yesterday, seemed more relaxing and less work, = more fun. Good luck with it, they are nice when it rains. Plus you can unload it when you feel like it.

Works great! tractor suply huh. my car weighs 4,000lbs but it took minimum force to wench it in.if i get a splitter pulley i can double the pulling by increasing the ratio.
