I am interested in the Warn Tabor 9000 or the Warn M8000. I am looking at these because i want to stay in the $500 range. So I'm asking for those who have these how they are holding up and which one to go with. I know the Tabor is rated higher, but I know a lot of you have the M8000. A winch has not yet become an issue, but I do want one for that one time im sure ill need it. Please any opinions or suggestions needed.

 

M8000 has pulled me out of sticky mess mud 6 times now, no probs.

 

My M8000, twice in Bronco Peak. That's a rough trail and I would have been dead in the water without it. So far so good.

 

I lost my clutch last time out and had to winch for over an hour mostly up hill to get to a place where I could finally get another vehicle to tow me back to the staging area, my M8000 kept pulling with no complaints. I have used it a few other times without any problems.

 

I checked the winchdepot site and saw the M8000 was selling for $705. Anybody have one cheaper?

 

They have one with the roller fairlead for 569 and the hawse is 705, Thats the only difference i saw

 

it's kind of funny, the cheaper one comes with 20 ft more cable.

 

Ya that shocked me too, but it thats the one I pick. I won't be complaining...

 

Using the M8000 here and I have loved it. It has never let me down and I have used it quite a few times now. I like the fact that the M8000 and the rugged ridge modular bumper leave my grill clear for airflow

 

I actually had both, but I just sold the warn to a friend and I kept the tabor. I think is pretty good and actually all the instructions are as if it was an M8000. the tabor has worked for me plenty. I would buy it again.
