I was told by the MODs that it is ok to mention other suppliers, just not clickable links if they are not a sponsor

That's the winch I picked up, and I was impressed with the overall quality of its appearance. I've only got it halfway on right now, as I still need to do the wiring. No review on how it pulls yet. I've heard that it's on the slow side, but if you don't use it often, it's not too bad. With the LOD bumper and winch hoop, the whole thing ended up costing me $822 after shipping.

Is an 8000 lb winch enough for an unlimited rubicon?

I am assuming that these winches are made in China since they don't say where they are made. The American made ones, sold by many of our sponsors, have a much better warranty and track record.

Just looked on the website and George Lee manages the offices in China. That canceles that. I want American Made.
