Love my M8000 from 4wd parts, used it the other day to pull a F350 out of a muddy ditch, the Ford driver was amazed at how easily it handled the big truck, but I was using a strap and ARB snatch block.

I would get the M8000 if i can find the $499 version but at $744 I might spend the extra $50 and get the XD9000i

I have the Superwinch and it came with a snatch block plus it had 125 foot of cable. I have made over 40 hard pulls with mine and had Warns in the past and I will stick with the Superwinch.

I even got to pull a full size Hummer back up to the road after it went off road here in the mountains of Central Colorado. Darn camera was at home!

I got mine delivered to my door for $600.

how does the m8000 do pulling you 4 door out? the price makes it very attractive, but I'm worried about it being strong enough if I ever get stuck in some deep mud. I guess I could always use a snatch block too, but I think I'd be better off gettinga 9000 or 9500lb. winch.

I was kinda curious who makes the Smittybuilt winches. I figure they can't get too good for the price.

I was also thinking about the Tabor winch. They seem like about the best bang for the buck. From what I've been told, its basically a Warn winch without the lifetime warranty.

I have the smittybuilt but they are a different model than the one I got last christmas. Mine works well but the finish is trashed already and I took out the cable for synthetic line. It's a slow pulling winch but I've used for land clearing mostly and only to pull stuck vehicles in the snow last winter.

winch depot has a better price on the M8000 because they ship for $9.95 and no tax.
