This is 1 of 5 brass-plated WARN M8274 winches that were given out to people in the off-road industry in the 1980s. This one was given to the woman who ran the Oakland 4 Wheel Parts story from 1977 to 1989. Ruth is quite the woman, and she recently returned this to us to have for our...

Nice build! (And nice winch choice) - Andy

For what it's worth, the red WARN hook strap is specifically for grabbing onto vs grabbing onto the hook. It keeps your hand just that much farther from the winch's fairlead. Another option is to look at our Epic Hook. They are forged, powdercoated and e-coated, have a durable safety clasp...

Cris -- first, we recommend using WARN synthetic rope on our winches. It's the only rope we test on our winches. Our rope has a heat sleeve to help protect the rope from heat. However, we have done extensive testing on all of our winches with our synthetic rope, and it's totally 100% fine...

Right now, that's all have, but we will have more coming up in the near future. - Andy

Yes, so long as you include everything specified on the rebate form. Andy

The only WARN truck winches that are imported from China are the VR series, and that is so we can compete on price. However, they are made at a factory that makes winches solely for us. The VR is not just another me-too/open-source winch that gets everyone's name slapped onto it. It's 100% our...

I am told it IS compatible with the blind spot system. And yes, the snap into plac3e on the bumper like OEM. Andy

Greatly appreciate the feedback, and I've shared it with our marketing team. In the meantime, you can visit TheWarnDifference.com, which will have differences between ZEON, ZEON Platinum, and VR. Hopefully that clears some things up. - Andy

No worries; we're all entitled to our opinion. One thing to note about the front bumper is that it's configured so you have easy access to the winch during the recovery process, hence one reason for its design. - Andy

That's pretty cool! - Andy

Oops my mistake. yes, it has power in and power out, but no freespool. In 1974 we added the clutch, hence the M8274. These may have been dealer installed by AMC; I know Warn did some of that. However, they were not exclusively sold to dealers.

That's pretty cool, actually. FYI, the "2" in 8274 stands for "two way" as in power in, and power out. (Not sure why we didn't call this the 8174, but so be it) And just for reference and to impress other off-road geeks: 8 = 8,000 lb. 2 = Two way (power in, power out) 74 = year it was...

The WARN Multi-Mount allows you to mount a WARN winch to a portable cradle that can be inserted into a class III receiver hitch. You can use it on the front or back of your rig, and it can be completely removed if you don't want it on the vehicle at all. So where do you put it when it's not in...

Our general rule of thumb is 1.5 x Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (not curb weight). And yes, snatch blocks are a great tool to have! We generally recommend keeping 5 warps on the drum to be safe. Also, remember: your winch's maximum pulling power is on that first wrap on the drum, so for those...

Ah, the old P2000. This was one of our early portable winches. It likely would've had a mounting plate and chains to rig it; may have had a carrying case. I believe we discontinued these in the early 1990s or so after the P2500 came out. It predated our former WARN Works utility winches...
