"QUITE THE PULL FOR JUST AN 8,000LB WINCH" Wes Rempel from Canada - Submitted on 04.17.08 After a beautiful June day of cleaning up a 4WD access campsite we have adopted, a few of us decided to head down to the beach at Harrison lake for a bit before calling it a day. Upon reaching the beach we discovered a truck in the lake. Later we were told it accidentally backed itself into the lake. These guys were wet and a bit panicked. Ecstatically one of them came up out of the water shouting, "you have a winch, you have a winch" can you pull us out?!" Just looked like a typical black Dodge, but I could not tell much of what it was considering only the glass and hood were out of the water. There were probably fish swimming in every part of that truck. A buddy anchored himself to my Jeep and I strung out the cable on my trusty WARN M8274. This was quite a load, but the WARN winch pulled it up without complaint. The closer the truck came to being out of the water, the larger I came to realize it was. Not just a typical Dodge. This was a Cummins Diesel powered Dodge and lifted no less. With the truck winched out of the water, I then notice there is something behind it. A 25' flat deck trailer! Quite the pull for just an 8000lb winch. The truck and trailer probably weighed in more than that. Plus the fish!
