Default looking hard at recon winch

I like the look of the recon winch, wondering if any problems found so far I realize it is fairly new on the market. Also has anyone installed on shrockworks bumper?

X2 - There are actually a couple of threads about it. I have one and think it works great. For the money, its pretty damn hard to beat. It got me out of this with ease. Winch barely got warm on a single line pull.

Default recon

Thanks for the help. I am ordering mine tomorrow. It will be awhile till bumpers get here but like the idea of the winch and it may only go up in price.

Yeah I have a empty bumper with no winch, kinda wished I would of bought a winch first. Are you going shrockworks? They always have a long wait but are worth it!

I actually use a front reciever hitch and a winch mount plate. In this pic I don't have the winch installed but you can see the setup with the power connector. I can also use it in the back as well.
