if it holds up like the 8k smittybuilt Ive had on the tj for about 10 years now you cant go wrong. Ive used it many times and it has never let me down.

 

Nice. Santa was good to you.
I've had one for about a year. I've used it three times to pull others out, and 10 or so times around the property for other stuff. It's worked great, except for the wireless. That took a dump after I used it three or four times.
I think they're a great winch for the money. I couldn't justify the cost for a Warn either.
Good luck with it, and your Jeep looks great!
Happy New Year,

Looks good!

3 years and probably 40 or more times that it has been used to pull trucks out of snow and ditches... it still works great!

I did have a pin fold over inside the plug where the controller plugs in. 14 dollar part to replace.

This winch owes me nothing. It has been reliable and strong.
