Got my first Hickey
Bought a Hickey Sidewinder Winch this weekend. It works and has all the parts except the plastic cover for the solenoids. Did some research on the www and found some interesting stuff. The original patent to Vic Hickey and his partner, User Manual and a cool ad for the winch. I'll be refurbishing the winch and mounting it on my Jimmy. It came of a '72 Blazer so mounting should be easy. In the day, they were thought of as quite good winches. I know the new winches of today are much better, but I don't see myself wiching out of the Rubicon, just a cool piece of nostalgia. I like the fact they are hidden behind the front bumper.
Here are some pics.
