Whats the difference between these 2? other than the M8000 being much more expensive?

 

I went through this a few months ago and found the M8000 through Northridge for the same price as the VR8000! Not sure about the current pricing.

Info from the thread I started a few months ago:
"Copied from a reply by a "warn" person on another site. I have NOT verified this anywhere but nothing is ever wrong on the internet right???

The differences are:

• Motor (different motor than M8000, different performance)
• Solenoids (vs. contactor on M-series, others)
• Different remote (we've got a new remote on the M-series)
• Finish (flat black vs. argent gray on the M-series)

These parts are less expensive for us, and thus, less expensive for the consumer.

Also, if you compare the performance data, you'll see the M8000 is faster than the VR8000, which is an effect of the different motor.

No load line speed
M8000= 29 ft/min
VR8000= 42 ft/min

8000 lb. line speed
M8000= 8.01 ft/min
VR8000= 4.8 ft/mim "

 

I think the vr series are imported or mad

 

Made from imported parts ? If that even matters to you

 

I figured that thats what the main difference was...



Then may as well buy the SB and RR if its imported?

I had a M6000 on my TJ and it never let me down.

But the super low prices sure are tempting

 

The VR series was created to compete with the other low cost brands made with imported parts.

 

I believe warn still offers their lifetime warranty with the vr's though. Something to think about...
