Default Gorilla Winches?
Any have Gorilla Winches? Any experience or word of mouth good or bad from them? I just think for $374.99 for a 8klb winch is a hell of a deal.

Thanks for the input. I want to get a winch and bumper for under $1,000. It's hard but I think I found my answers.

I do not know how well they work, but Smitybuilt has a 8k winck for $299. I saw it somewhere for $284. Might search for this one and see if anyone has any experiance with it.
