I have an M8000 and it seems to work just fine for a small rig like a Tacoma. I highly recommend putting some synthetic cable in there. OKOffRoad has good prices on Amsteel.NWDave said:Is this a good winch, found a good price on 'em.. I want to be able to get myself out and others as well.

Ive seen M8000's in the high $400's on ebay and in the mid- to high $500's with free shipping. Ive bought a lot of stuff off ebay but not a winch. But its prob where I'll end up purchasing one.NWDave said:Is this a good winch, found a good price on 'em.. I want to be able to get myself out and others as well.

Basically it is as strong(er?), lighter, & safer to handle - Most important factor is that it does not store energy under load-Uneasy Rider said:What is that Synthetic line made of? Is it as strong & durable as steel cable?
good winch and is fine for the Taco.NWDave said:Is this a good winch, found a good price on 'em.. I want to be able to get myself out and others as well.

Sure like mine. Mounted in ARB, it works well. Suspension will have to be upgraded if you go that route, as stated above. Otherwise the front will sag.NWDave said:Is this a good winch, found a good price on 'em.. I want to be able to get myself out and others as well.

I'd like a winch bumper, but for now it's just cheaper to the multi-mount and get a front reciever. What needs to be changed out? Stiffer shocks, I planned on starting with a 3" cornfed. What else should I be looking at?hytenor said:good winch and is fine for the Taco.
ditto on the Amsteel line and aluminum or synthetic fairlead...saves about 55#
what do you plan on attaching it to?
winch bumper? multi mount, etc?
what suspension do you have? OE won't hold the weight.
a 3" cornfed will be a waste of time and $ for a winch, sorry. In order to handle the weight you'll have to upgrade your suspension to some coilovers with at least 650# coils. the cheapest being Sway Away at $650 (Demello's sale) up to Donahoes at $950.NWDave said:I'd like a winch bumper, but for now it's just cheaper to the multi-mount and get a front reciever.

Oh ya, bone stock. Non-TRD. Just a SR5 package.
