Again, I am loving my Superwinch. It has kept up with Warns and its build quality is good (The Smitty is cheap plastic and the controller is all plastic parts)

I know my Superwinch is !5%-20% cheaper than a Warn and thus far it has held up as well as the Warns I have wheeled with. I like the Warn product, but man are they expensive.

Default Titan winches

I am looking at winches for myself. I have a smittybuilt front bumper and I am looking at the titan winch with compressor. Any one have experience with these? I can't find a ton of info but for the price it seems great.

Thanks

I have a Recon winch. It seems to work great and I have yet to hear/read a bad review of them. I have not had to pull anyone out with mine yet so I can't really speak from personal experience. I feel the are inexpensive because they are new to the market. It feel well constructed. I recommend it.

I have seen several smittybuilts in action. They seem to work well too. Although the Recon has a faster spool rate. I know a lot of people who are using these and none have had issues. That being said, there have been numerous reports on this site of the smittybuilts failing.
