View Full Version : Stolen Winch: the final chapter
All I have to say is, USAA insurance rocks.
One phone call and I had an $850 check in the mail. I thought for sure they'd blow me off since the winch was a bolt-on accessory, but I gave the girl the MSRP for the M12000 off the 4WP website and she cut me a check for that price minus my deductible!!! :chili: :chili: :chili:
Couldn't believe it!
So, tookl the $850 to 4WP and ended up with one of these:

Now I gotz more pull, new winch, and thermometric circuitry! And I ain't mounting it until my garage is done and the Bronco is off the street!!!! So don't bother coming by if you stole my M12000...
stangmata 04-30-2004, 01:15 PM Sweet!! Still sucks though that someone made off with a free winch.
Right on. USAA does kick ass. I've had them for over 10 years and they have ALLWAYS gone out of thier way to take care of me. :thumbup

MyFullSize 04-30-2004, 03:10 PM USAA here, last 5 years... Wish I had gone with them sooner. Never had to make a claim, hope I dont have to.
RaisedIIPerfection 04-30-2004, 04:10 PM Can i have some more info on USAA?Im guessing this is full coverage...How much are you paying a month and where in CA can i find an agent...I need to get this for my camaro and bronco....Thanks in Advance
Hey Jon, last I heard USAA is for military and ex-mil members only. I got out 6 yrs ago so I don't know if things have changed... anybody else know?
ballou 05-02-2004, 07:32 PM I have had USAA my entire life...my dad was Air Force and I have carried them over for myself.....Credit card, car loan, car insurance, and home owners insurance....they take care of theirs....
I think the deal is you have to be military or a dependant of military. As a dependant of military, you can keep USAA forever and your kids get to keep USAA as well and their kids, etc. However, if you had USAA as a dependent or former dependent and leave them, I dont think you can go back- Im not sure.
bAdKARma88 05-02-2004, 09:27 PM I'm so going to steal that 16.5.
5.0-BRONCO 05-02-2004, 09:53 PM I'm so going to steal that 16.5.
not if i get there first :goodfinge . . . .
read off pirate 4x4, that u should put a spot weld on each bolt to stop theft.
BLOODSWEATSTEEL 05-02-2004, 10:36 PM Yep, USAA does it again. I had my stereo stolen TWICE from my F150, and the second time they even got the alarm too!! :banghead
USAA took care of it, no questions asked. :rockon
jackhart 05-03-2004, 11:50 AM that sure is a nice winch, but 138 lbs? yikes!

I never heard of USAA while in the military. What if you are x-military?
Oh and sweet winch. I didn't know there was such a thang as 16.5 winch! That things got to heavy!
stangmata 05-03-2004, 02:48 PM You should be able to pick up USAA if you are ex-military no problem. I am going to switch my car insurance over to USAA soon. I would put my bike insurance to USAA but Progressive KILLS USAA but over $100/year
that sure is a nice winch, but 138 lbs? yikes!
Same weight as the M12000, which is what I designed my bumper/front suspension around... :chili:
[QUOTE=5.0-BRONCO]not if i get there first :goodfinge . . . .
:enforce THAZ WAITING FOR BOTH OF YOU...
If I lose this winch, I'm roundin' up my kin like Patrick Swayze and we will come bow and arrow your ass...
