Yeah. Also for any other tips on weight saving you should check out this information and also for line speeds under load and make a decision on whats best. Since the 16.5 WARN fits (
http://www.arbusa.com/USA-Vehicle-Ap...tion_chart.pdf) I would get that if I owned the 07' Tundra with the ARB bull bar then just put on the 3/8" synthetic rope in 125'. If you like Ramsey winches, I'd get one of those.
WARN winches: Open them up seperately and compare speeds and weights. 16.5 is the best for the WARN winches IMO considering line speeds. That 90' of 7/16" wire probably weighs 50+ lbs alone. And synthetic rope is light. 85' weighs 7 lbs with the clevis hook from Masterpull. I weighed my bundled 100' of wire in 5/16" diameter at 27 lbs on the scale.
16.5ti: 138 lbs. with 90' of 7/16" wire.

M15000: 136 lbs. with 90' of 7/16" diameter wire

M12000: 136 lbs with 125' of 3/8" wire

Whatever you do decide on I suggest you get a wire-less remote control. They're awesome to use. I have one and its very useful being anywhere instead of constantly 10 feet away with the handheld walking beside or tackling with the wire getting in/out the truck or driving/steering. Also I found the best deals at Sams Offroad. And he will beat the price if you can find one better and have proof of it. But they are the best prices. Look at em' and compare. Package deals on the Ramsey winches right now.

Also a Pull-Pal is a good investment when you have no anchor point or within reach and need to make one.
I bought one from them and its a beefy piece of equipment worth the price.
