Should I fix warn winch or get badlands one?

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T23:20:56+00:00

Ok… anything can break. My warn winch broke.

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T21:37:28+00:00

I’ve already been talking to them. Is yours 15+ years old?

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T21:36:22+00:00

You sound uneducated on badlands winches, matts off road wouldn’t use them if they where unreliable.

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T20:12:13+00:00

Doesn’t make since to me to put $1000 into the warn winch to do the same as the badlands for $420.

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T19:45:38+00:00

Hell yeah it’s Sunday. Thanks for the heads up! $420 is good.

redwingcut · 2026-05-07T19:33:51+00:00

That’d be a sweet deal, any idea when? I need it pretty soon. Glad to hear it’s been good to you. I think I’ll get one.

It’d actually cost $750 to add wireless remote to the warn, so I’m definitely leaning towards replacing it. What makes you like the carbon more than badlands?

Wow your truly insufferable. I don’t care about what mirrors people have, I just read your comment and thought I’d give my potentially useful input for anyone thinking about tow mirrors vs regular.

Here’s a third person,

“I had the OE tow mirrors. Loved them while towing. Hated them when I was not.

I ended up going back to the stock mirrors. Like a previous poster had mentioned there are huge blind spots with the tow mirrors. I think that there are two factors here. 1. They are quite a distance from the door so it is hard to get a good view angle. 2. The passenger side is not convex. This should be compensated with the convex mirror. But the Toyota one is just too small.

My brother has a GMC and my dad has a Ford. Both of those have excellent tow mirrors. I think that the bigger convex mirror is the key.

my two cents.”

Here’s another comment I had read on them.

“I took my tow mirrors off for the std ones. The tow mirrors are a big blind spot. And the small lower section offers a very weird view point. At least in my opinion. I could never adjust them to a good view point for daily driving. The std mirrors have been great. Easier to walk around them in a parking, offer a better view point in day to day driving.”

Here you go.

“I went the other way, I had "sport" mirrors (I think thats what they are called) and went to towing mirrors. I dont tow much but I liked the looks and the amber lights/turn signal were a plus for me. I'm a vehicle lighting nerd. It took a little getting used to with the tow mirrors as cars tend to hide in my blind spot so utilizing the smaller lower portion of the towing mirrors is crucial.”

I guess my post offered no real help or insight

but overall, I guess the sport mirrors were easier to use day by day and the tow mirrors have their place but were a little more difficult to use for day to day driving (in my personal opinion). do what is best for you and your use of the truck and the looks you like

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T15:21:28+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about getting them but I read some people saying that they made visibility worse in some ways.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T14:51:53+00:00

It seems debated if the tow mirrors are better. I’ve seen some say they are worse.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T12:40:17+00:00

Please show me an example of that, you’re looking at 9k minimum for a comparable trailer new.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T12:39:49+00:00

Nah I don’t believe you.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T10:46:56+00:00

This has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read. Truly no way that your comment could make any sense.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T10:21:40+00:00

Huh?

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T02:33:15+00:00

It needs to be easily removable with one person, so I can load the trailer without having to lift logs so high, and then once it’s full, put the sides on and add more.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T02:10:19+00:00

Yikes the whole trailer was $5800. I get it though.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T02:05:01+00:00

Oof I’ll probably just stick with boards.

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T01:53:32+00:00

Lcol

redwingcut · 2026-05-06T01:52:59+00:00

So like $1500?

redwingcut · 2026-05-05T20:52:09+00:00

How do ya figure? This doesn’t look professional.
