Just thought i would finally put this on ws.com, seeing as mcthrust hasnt Razz

.
This be our winch, it aint beautiful (well more it looks ugly as hell) but it still awesome
BTW if anyone knows of a gap in brisbane somewhere we can hit PLEASE tell me, cause i am itching to hit one, havent found a gap anywhere and i really wanna try it.
BTW we know this aint an original idea, but it works and only cost us like 300 bucks if that, so its a good enof one for us

whyd you take the wheels/handle off? my vote is for some rad casters and a handle with throttle on it.

The wheels were sooooo screwed up, they didnt work, like all the plastic was all warn and crap, so we too it off. I used the frame to try ride down a hill and needless to say that didnt end well made my shin all bleedy Razz

. We just sit on it, works well. And yeah a throttle and stuff would be rad but its a bit too ghetto. I mean we removed the govenor just by sticking a piece of metal where this spring used to go. Lol its sooooo cheap Razz

I <3 it sooo much but

Nice guys. Haha I love it and the other shopping cart winch from a while ago..

Just change the name, too close to Grinch, and that word just reminds me of an armored truck filled with cement and a spool on the front.

Lol dude yeah it kinda does sound like that aye. We just called it that cause its out "ghetto winch" so ghinch just seemed like a good name. Got any other ideas but?

Damn does that thing have enough juice to get you guys goin?

More than enough, it cant really water start (mainly cause we have to sit on the thing and it like yanks the winch outta the ground when we try) but we usually find once we are going it has too much pull for us and we have to throttle back a bit. Its a lot of fun
