[QUOTE="hwcurtice, post: 1326006, member: 17044"] Okay, color me stupid, but since I got my winch for a birthday present, I haven't really done ANYTHING with it. Well it is cool having people drool over it... So, about 9 months in NorthWest weather and the most I've done with it is unreel it about 15 feet and pull it back in, to show off. The cable appears to be just slightly stiff and it's possible the spool is a little rusty. I'm seriously thinking of hooking it to my son's car and having him drive slowly away from the truck. And then giving it a good dose of WD-40 and pull it back in while spraying the cable as it spools up. Yeah, these things aren't worth much if you don't do some Maintenance on them from time to time, or use them... Anyone need something winched? Maybe on a bi-weekly basis? [/QUOTE]
