Ok, you can go to Hazard Fraught and buy a big winch for $390 with a coupon but will it last? How long to get it hot and you let the smoke out of the motor or relays? Can you get parts? (BWAHAHAHA!) What happens if it goes under water doing some fording? I've had the chinese winches, from small ATV types to big truck types and eventually they all let me down when I least needed failure of a tool. Either from hard use or not enough use, they failed. Instead, save up your money or lean on your significant other and buy a real winch made to last with parts and support, life is too short to be standing knee-deep in mud with a dead chinese winch...

Very nice which cannot be more happier with the purchase easy insulation

Zeon 12-s, been on two vehicles over the past 3 years. I mount the control box in the engine bay to keep it out of a harsh environment. Used for many recoveries. Only complaint is the very short battery life of the remote batteries.

We bought a Jeep about 6 months ago... we started doing some exploring on our own. We have since joined some Jeep clubs, and all required winches. We researched a ton, and found that Warn are simply the best out there! We bought it and installed it ourselves! Looks GREAT on our Jeep! We haven't had to use it yet, but we rest assured that when we do, we're all set!*(As newbies... it did take about 6 hours to install...)

This thing feels like it should cost what it did. It's way, way ahead of the China junk plus the rope will actually hold the weight of the winch and truck its mounted to. Ive seen the Chinese rope break more than once and would NEVER trust that stuff, which is basically nylon from what Im told. This is real Dyneema and the casing feels tough as nails too. Used it only once so far but it was a brute pulling a massive oak out of the way!

Serve it up

It was a tight fit in the Jeep JL stock steel bumper, but it's on. Looks to be well built.
