Great product.
Great winch. Bought the first one for my jeep about a year ago and I had no second thoughts about buying another one for a new equipment trailer.
Everything I expected looks great works well, we love it.
It was easy to install, one I removed my front bumper. This winch is sure to rip my front bumper off if I try winching any more than my jeep. 😂
Prompt shipping and is as advertised.
Great product. Fast shipper.
Easy install, just needed a fair lead bracket with the style bumper I’m running. Very reactive to the controls and I look forward to using it out on the trail.
Love this winch and so does my granddaughter! She had to pull our cat out of the ditch in his Jeep. But besides the fun it is a really nice winch. Nicely made and very sturdy It was easy to assemble and looks sharp.
Nice winch easy to operate
Although FedEx crushed the box, open road uses plenty of foam to protect the heavy winch and prevented any damage to my winch. It installed easy using the provided hardware and install wiring was simple. The winch runs flawlessly and I am excited to have this tool on the trail for the emergencies ahead!
The winch was an easy install and has worked flawless so many times now!! Got used twice on recoveries the first trip out after install and have used it multiple times every single wheeling trip since and it just works perfectly every time!!! Don't know how I ever got by without it!!
I purchased this winch for my 1985 Jeep CJ 7. The reviews I read and the you tube videos I watched all had goo things to say about these winch. I must admit, I am very happy with my unit. It came with 2 remote control units and 1 hard wired switch. The unit bolted right onto my mounting tray with the included hardware and the wires are more than long enough for me to do a clean wiring install. Everything needed was included and I did not have any issues. Great winch. Looks awesome as well.
The winch works perfect. Order processing and shipping took 16 days.
The winch self destructed while loading a Honda onto my 22’ flat bed trailer. The left front mounting bolt stripped out of the casting allowing the unit to twist itself apart. Got one and one half cars loaded before catastrophic failure. Would like a total refund please. Had to get a Badlands at Harbor Freight that has performed perfectly with the next eight cars.
Works as it should...
Haven't used it on the trails yet but it fits great and looks fantastic. And from my initial testing works great
Looks great on the wife's Jeep
Great product! Easy installation
Easy to set up, has worked extremely well.
My batteries are against the firewall. The positive cable is 18 inches at least too short to reach.
Great winch so far. Easy install, great price!!
Everything was extremely easy. I only have difficulty because of my carnivore bumper. The way it was designed, it blocked the bolt opening but I was able to figure it out. Looks really good. Give me that complete look now. 5 Stars!!
Came broken, response time from company has been terrible. Still waiting for a response has been weeks, one response I received to damage product was, “the damage appears to be cosmetic and does not affect the normal operation of the winch. It should still function properly once installed.” These are broken metal parts of the winch. So I now have a “cosmetically” broken winch. A Brand new winch with electrical box just expected to ride on cable and expected to be acceptable by the company. 0/10 recommend this company now.
Fácil de instalar, fácil de usar , y resistente , lo recomiendo 100%
Install was easy. So far haven't had to use it. But have piece of mind that I have it now.
Great quality love having multiple remotes too!! Does the job!!!
Very nice winch. This is my second one.
Easy install, works great so far
Awesome Winch! This is actually My 2nd one, I got one for my jeep and loved it so much I to get one for my truck! Definitely recommend! And what a amazing value!!
So far I've only pulled my truck up a slight grade in neutral to spool the winch line tight, but it works great and has a faster speed than I thought it would. After I gotta rescue someone or myself I'll have more info.
Haven't put it to the real test yet but I set it up so that I can move it from my flatbed trailer to my truck during hunting season. Before the next hunt I will have a setup up front too. The winch cost less than what I paid to be winched out of the sank to the frame mud.
4 gauge wire on a 13.5 winch is too small for the type of weight this winch is supposed to pull. It should be 2 gauge wire and is specified as such on the Australian website. But nowhere on the US website does it say what size wire that says other than how long it is? This needs to have two gauge wire other than that the winch is beautiful and mounted gwell. I’m worried about the four gauge I wires heating up and becoming A fire hazard
Install was easy, and the wires that came with the unit were the correct length. Will be adding an in-line shut off for safety. Can't wait to get out on the trails with this winch.
Just installed and wanted to test before hitting any trails. Installed in a 2023 Colorado w/DV8 front bumper (great fit). Winch arrived sooner than expected, packaging was great! Tested all remotes (2 wireless, 1 wire) and all worked great during testing. Trust that if ever needed out on a trail it is more than capable for my application. Customer service has also been great!
Great product with great looks and performance.
Good quality and price works as it should
So far I love it. I installed it behind the bumper of my 2012 Silverado using an eBay mount and it fit easily. I purchased the extension for the remote and mounted it also on the lower bumper for easy access. Pros: Lots of winch for the money and loads of power for the tasks I’ve given it so far, ease of operations, and range of wireless remotes. Cons: should have included a powered interruption kill switch. Buttons on wireless remotes tend to stick which almost led to a bad situation, particularly considering no kill switch.
Its simple to set up, looks great, and works great
Worked great kinetic rope was awesome and winch have only used once and worked better than my warn
