I believe what he means is that even though the Smittybilt winch has the Smittybilt badge on it, it's made by another company.

Much like the Tabor 9k doesn't have a Warn badge but it is owned and built by Warn.

Companies do this all of the time. All of the old Dell printers were Lexmarks in Dell disguise.

Speaking of which, what is the general consensus on the Tabor 9k. Being built by Warn I'm think it's good stuff and the price is very reasonable, $460 shipped. But I'm afraid of one of those, "you get what you pay for" situations.

WTF? time is money? out 4 wheeling? It sound like my winch is bigger than your winch thingie here. Yeah...Warn makes a 8k winch that just cannot do the job. LOL! Oh yeah ....we don't have mud out here LOL! so what do I know...You could pitch in and have a full blown tow truck follow you......or maybe a helicopter to lift you out. If ya need it....get it. If you don't then.....err... don't.
