And so it begins. These winches came off of an MRAP, a 27,000 + lb vehicle, which, according to your line of thinking, only a fool would attempt to use it on said vehicle. I appreciate your concern but I have no intentions of ever using it beyond it's capacity. I didn't buy these trucks to bury them in the mud. These winches have an Overload Interrupt feature which hopefully will shut it down before something breaks. I intend to use it to pull trees, limbs or the occasional stuck motorist after our ice storms we have every Blue Moon. Just my 2 cents worth. To each his own.Cable Looks awful lite for a 5t, looks like 1/2" or 7/16" cable, a stuck deuce can break its 1/2" cable, a 5t uses 5/8" cable which it can break very easy, a to lite a cable is very, very, dangerous because it presents a FALSE sense of CAN DO. The install would look nice on a deuce, on a 5t. I REALLY have my doubts.
7/16 cable is rated at around 16k lbs and 1/2 cable is rated over 20k lbs.Cable Looks awful lite for a 5t, looks like 1/2" or 7/16" cable, a stuck deuce can break its 1/2" cable, a 5t uses 5/8" cable which it can break very easy, a to lite a cable is very, very, dangerous because it presents a FALSE sense of CAN DO.
