PS: You know where to get a winch like that? And how much I expect to pay for a 100 foot one?

winch is a warn 9000xdi (3-4 years old). on sale was $700.

custom mount was around $250 (for a front and rear mount).

it came with a 125' steel cable.

you can get them anywhere. 4 wheel parts in oakland, santa clara, san jose. or go mail order/online...
