Haha! You know you're having a bad day when the need to winch your Blazer into a tree arises!

FWIW I would have the seller open it up for you if you find one. I have four of them and they have all had water in them except for one.

jaybatta · 02-24-2018, 03:35 PM

Anyone have parts for these?

Thanks

Joe

Water in where and what damage does it cause? The one I pictured is the one I just purchased.

Thanks

Not sure, I guess whatever I'll need to get it operational. I know I'll need a controller, solenoid and maybe some new cable, but I think I can source that. Also think I need the mounting bracketry or at least plans/dimensions for that. Maybe I can...ahem..attempt to fabricate that. I don't have it in my possession yet. Once I do I'll know more. I'm fairly certain it'll need an overhaul

Thanks
