Warn . Going 3 years strong and no problems . Paid $512.00. Cant beat it !

i had a smittybilt xrc8 that got me out of some pretty tough spots and am probably going back to one on

Here are the pics and why I need a winch

Smittybilt just came out with a new series of winches, and they are completely waterproof. Something that I don't believe even Warn advertises. I love mine and haven't had any problems. I wish I had the waterproof one though....

Waterproof ? will have to check that out thanks

It's called their x2O series. They're on quadratec

Yeah the waterproofing would be nice..I run an xrc 8, pulled me out several times about 2 years old, no problems

I've had an xrc10 for about 5 months now. Came with the synthetic line. Used it two weeks ago to pull me out when I got completely bottomed out on my frame trying to cross a snowdrift. Worked great and the price is awesome for a 10k with syn line
