Recently I had the urge to upgrade my Warn M8000 winch with a 3/8” synthetic rope by Southeast Overland. Unfortunately, as I was spooling in the new rope, my winch decided to check out (better in the lot and not on the trail at least!). With all signs pointing to the motor, my fingers got to searching the local for-sale sections for other options. After a bit of looking, I came across a used Warn XD9000 that was in decent shape for the price. After hearing from a friend of a recent successful rebuild of his winch, I figured it’s time to see how these things work on the inside and see what condition the new purchase was really in. Rebuild time!

CAUTION: Woman on the Trail
The better half’s take on four wheeling
On a girl’s weekend in Denver last fall, my friends and I parked on a busy city street and hopped out of my car, ready to take on a full day of shopping. As I rounded the rear driver side, I stopped in disgust at the sight of a small stock SUV with a shiny new Hi-Lift and winch haphazardly mounted to the front.
“Now that’s a waste of a perfectly gorgeous Hi-Lift,” I said.
The odd look of amazement and confusion on my friends faces told me that I had just spoken in a foreign language.
“That’s it. He’s finally converted you,” my best friend replied.
I’ve been four wheeling with the better half for a little over a year now. At first, it fed my addiction to getting out and in to the mountains as often as possible. Now, it’s in my blood.
