Looking at smittybuolt xrc8 8000 winch for 2011 4 door. Anybody have any reviews? 8000 lbs big enough. Don't do crazy wheeling.

 

I've been wanting a winch for a long time and been researching the smittybilt 8k. I've spoken to a lot of Jeepers who own it. They all say its really reliable and havent heard anything bad about it yet

btw its going for $280 now on Amazon with free shipping. Free 2 day shipping too if you sign up with amazon prime (if you havent signed up for amazon prime, you can get a free 30 day trial)

 

Awesome Thanks. Haven't looked at amazon yet.

 

Also looking at the mile marker sec8

 

I have 2 XRC8 winches and i love them .. One is on my Dakota (6000lbs Truck) and one on my wifes Jeep .. Very reliable .. It has never let me down and i have been in a few BAD situations ... I say go for it ..

 

We have the 10k works great,had it under water a few times still works

 

great winch go with the xrc10

 

I have the mile marker sec8 and so far have had no problems and can say its super reliable and has amazing line speed. Good bang for your buck. Highly recommend it!

 

I have one in my garage waiting for my replacement bumper to come in.

 

I have the xrc8 with synthetic rope. Make the purchase you wont be sorry

My winch has never been used to pull myself out

But it works amazing for pulling out the toyota's that cant seem to keep up with me
