It is time to buy the winch. Who has the best deal on an
8274-50?

Thanks

Ebay. Buy a used one, go there and hang out until you can snag a flogged one for $200.

Spend $80 on rebuild parts (get the parts from DSI Warn, and a little more on synthetic rope to replace the kinked and frayed cable.

Boom. $400 8274 with the fancy rope. That's what I did, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

partsamerica.com - best price guaranteed....I paid $905

Not anymore Woody, they raised the price JUST after I bought mine...

ranger · 02-20-2003, 08:45 PM

I could only imagine what the shipping charge would be.

When did you buy yours? They still had them for $865 ten days ago.

PartsAmerica ==Kragens. Common in these parts. I'll second that!

DANG just looked it up... part# 38631 $1119.99 DANG!

I bought an 8274-50 from BNTMike on the list. I was pissed as there was some funky chit... I suspect the box was opened, then resealed, as some of the stuff in it was messed with. Winch was new, but missing the mounting hardware kit plate. Plastic bushing got busted up. Didn't really need the mounting plate, but damn if I paid for it... it should have been in the box! ZERO followup from Mike. Talked to him a couple of times, he promised to have it dropped shipped from Warn. Finally got tired of wasting my time trying to get any replacement parts from him.

Some folks gripe about CCOT... but their Winch Mount bumper looks pretty stock, and isn't bad for mounting. The winch clears the Sag steering box, all the better.

For mounting idea's, check the 8274 on FJ thread... winch mount

Same idea as right pedal - buy a used one that needs work for cheap and swap in the motor for the 8274-50. Spend the other $400 or more on other things.

I saw a 8274-50 a few days ago in the for sale section of tennessee4x4.com. Was like 750 or so..

If anyone is near Chestertown Maryland, I have an old 8274 there that needs a new motor. Cable is in good shape, $200 for the unit? Or you could pay shipping. Last winch I shipped was around $60 ground.
