I know that it would be going against the popular opinion to even concider one but at the price 375.00$ shipped, and the upgraded line ,synth rope, aluminum hause, snatch block, gloves, 6.5hp,10,500 line pull, and only 62lbs, I am seriously concidering one.
I am looking for an experianced opinion, my next option is the xrc8 but I don't like wire rope, honestly it scares the poo-poo out of me.

 

they come with a 3 year warranty and it looks like they are made by honda?

so if it is a turd at least you can get some support for it

 

Recon's web site say's that winch is $999.00. ??

 

i see $999.00 on Recon's site also... where did you see this price???

 

I think they are from the same factory as where the Smittybilt XRC is made.
