witch would you rather have

[big hoss]

Would you rather have a m35a2 with an air shift t case and no winch
or a sprag t case and a winch? Which would you rather have and why?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I'd get the one with the winch if they were the same price. You can swap to an air-shift for about $250.

If both trucks were the same condition (hours/miles, body condiction etc.)

I'd take the truck with sprag and winch. An Air shift t-case can be had for cheap ($100 -$300) and is readily available. They are easy to swap out also, which I'd do if I ended up with that truck.

A winch is more expensive to add to a Deuce ($800 -$1,300 for a complete setup, but I have seen them go for more) and a winch isn't as prevealent on the open market as an air shift t-case.

I'll second that. My new one is sprag w/w. I'll get around to changing it some day.

I agree with the others, a winch is more expensive to add.

hard top, or singled out

one of the weirdest queries I have ever seen here. and ..... which, not witch.

For comparing deuces, the two items; a) sprag system for front axle drive engagement, as opposed to airshift engaged, and b) having a winch on the front of the vehicle or not, seem totally unrelated for most type of comparison scenarios.

I currently have a '87 M35a2c with airshift and winch, and not a wench. I have no need for the winch, sold my '71 M35a2 without winch ( but had airshift) in order to get one with winch, just because I thought winch trucks look cooler.

Depends on which.

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


I just had seizure... thanks...

Forsure go for a winch, especially if your not gonna do too much offroading, then it wouldnt matter if you had sprag or not. You can easily swap out tcases.

 

[O.D. Fever]

I'll take the Wench, but only for the night, then i'll take the winch and buy a new case. keep them for awhile.

 

[mattg2448]

So, the real question is, how many wenches would it take to me to winch up my witch?
