They appear to be identical to bulldog, rugged ridge, smittybuilt, etc. I was actually gonna buy that one but found a mint Warn XD9000i on craigslist for a little more and bought that instead.

Well ... you could be the JK Comrade and buy one and check it out for everyone else and report back. 
Everyone's only issue with the non-name brand winches is parts availability when something breaks ... I would definitely call RECON first ... they have a website .. and ask them about replacement parts.

10.5k capacity
6.5hp mtr
most all the standard features but also came w/
