Is there anything else I should have with my winch?
Here are some other things you should buy before using your winch:
Leather gloves: Leather gloves will allow you to operate the winch safely. It is possible to operate a winch without gloves. However, a pair of good leather gloves will keep your hands from getting abrasions. You can get something simple and cheap, like this pair of Mechanix Wear Gloves from Amazon.
Aftermarket line: Almost all winches will come with a stock line for towing your truck. However, in the rare case that you get a winch that does not have a stock line, you can buy a steel cable or nylon rope and use that to haul your truck.
Heavy gauge cable: If the winch does not come with a heavy gauge cable or you do not own a heavy gauge cable, consider buying one when you buy your winch. You will need a heavy gauge cable to attach your winch to your truck’s battery.
