I am sure this question has come up before but can't find anything on it ...So who makes the best winch for under 700.00 and why .(not hydro/electric only . I just installed my new front body armor bumper /piaa 520 atp's/skid plate .and have big hole in the middle that says buy me a winch please.... love it so far pics in the morning will repost sorry late night (the thing did not want to go on,but I won)

 

Seen alot of good reviews on the Recon winch

Warn . Going 3 years strong and no problems . Paid $512.00. Cant beat it !

 

i had a smittybilt xrc8 that got me out of some pretty tough spots and am probably going back to one on

 

Here are the pics and why I need a winch

 

Smittybilt just came out with a new series of winches, and they are completely waterproof. Something that I don't believe even Warn advertises. I love mine and haven't had any problems. I wish I had the waterproof one though....

 

Waterproof ? will have to check that out thanks

 

It's called their x2O series. They're on quadratec

 

Yeah the waterproofing would be nice..I run an xrc 8, pulled me out several times about 2 years old, no problems

 

I've had an xrc10 for about 5 months now. Came with the synthetic line. Used it two weeks ago to pull me out when I got completely bottomed out on my frame trying to cross a snowdrift. Worked great and the price is awesome for a 10k with syn line
