The tax man has sent me a healthy check this year and a bumper and winch are first on the list... Seriously considering the new GS-9 from Viking but cant find any reviews or anyone who runs one for that matter... From the details it seems like a solid contender in the lineup! Love to get some feedback on it.

Heres a link..

Viking Winch GS9 - 9,000 Lb

 

who makes it... Viking just branded it, they don't make it...
It kind of looks li,e a experience...

 

Yea definately not made by viking.. Stats are pretty good compared to others in the price range.. Has the Albright solenoid which is nice. Says its made in Taiwan so who knows... The Bridge is nice to look at though!

 

Thats a damn expensive winch.

 

Says, "winch is not a cheap Chinese made winch"

But they don't say where it is made....

 

Says made in Taiwan..

 

Guess I missed that...

 

This is the type of post where ppl talk about how awesome their own winch is, IMO if you like it and it has good reviews get it. Other wise you'll be buying a warn winch since that's what 99% of ppl swear by. Don't get me wrong it's great to get feedback but these types of post always lead into a "my winch is better than yours" type post. Good luck!

 

I was going to say...if you are going to spend that kind of money, buy a USA made warn. Otherwise I would say go the other way and buy something for sub $500.

It IS a bad@ss looking winch though.

 

have you looked at the warn zeon?
