Engo winches
Anybody have anything to say about engo winches besides warn is better. I've been researching winches for a while and for the value line brands it seems like one of the better ones out there...I'm looking at the 9000 with synthetic rope for only like $400. I would love to hear from anyone with first hand experience, thanks

JP magazine did a shootout with an bunch of winches. Engo winches did a good job. I have read many threads with people that have them and they seem to like them.

They seemed to have the best reviews of the value priced winches. If it warns up a bit, I will be installing my E10,000 during the kids nap time. Can't beat a 10k for $309 to your front door (jeepaddons).

I ordered the 9000 synthetic for 404 shipped to my door from jeepaddons too, my only problem is how long it takes to get stuff from them...ordered 4 things on Monday have only received my receiver shackle, bumper didn't even ship until Friday, no fog lights yet and now I ordered the winch but they did have the best prices so not too much complaining. Did it come with the snatch block, if so that's pretty cool but guess I bought one for nothing lol...is that like a fake carbon fiber look, on the website it just looked black but I like it

Shipped 2/16
Delivered 2/20
Not bad considering it came from Washington.
I added the snatch block. I'd prefer the finish to be black but I much prefer the carbon look to the gray.
