I consider all recovery equipment a life/death decision and not something you want to skimp on. What do you think the chances are that you'll be in a nasty situation and think "I wish I had saved $100 on this winch"? More likely, you'll be fighting with an inferior product with super slow line speed and overheating thinking "I wish I bought a Warn"

 

I've wheeled with Formulatoy(the fella who got banned from yt for some ridiculous reason) and he used the snot out of his Warn 8000lb. I was extremely impressed by how well it worked. I was also extremely suprised at how hard it had to work and how hot the motor on the winch would get. This leads me to believe that if that warn8000 was getting really warm, and straining in some situations....well I woud HATE to see how a cheaper winch would have reacted to the same abuse. and that is what you will do with your winch ABUSE it.... my theory is if you are going to abuse something and you expect it to survive you better buy the best damn piece of equipment you can afford.

Where I am getting mine.

I have a Warn m8000. Ive used it quite a bit, more than I thought and its been great.

I wouldnt hesitate to buy a used Warn winch either, given its still in good condition. Most people with winches rarely use them, so buying used can really save you some $$ and you can get a real nice setup.

 

so can anyone give me a good source to buy one online

what do you think it will cost to ship one to 02155

I am gonna go with the Warn M8000...emailed the overstock4wd place, see what they have to say

 

Let me know what they tell you Boston. I may be able to help you out since my company is a warn distributor. I am not sure how competitive our pricing is since we usually just buy the industrial stuff from Warn. I could have it drop shipped directly to you from Warn. Let me know if I can help.

 

they told me free shipping in the lower 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

How much for the winch?

 

Why did you email them? All that info is on the website. Check the link for the price hlpressley.

why not email them? they are a business, I did not see the shipping info on the site and wanted to ask them specific weight issues in regards to pulling a 4 runner, if there is a small replacement parts kits and other information...

thanks to everyone who helped me make the right decision!

I appreciate everyones input

 

Just ordered mine, enjoy! I know I will.
