Default "Tough Stuff" winches? Reviews?

I found the "tough Stuff" winches on a website after simply googling winches for jeeps and trucks and came across this brand.

The prices are awesome.... specs appear to all be within the same ranges of the pricy-er winches.

Anyone have experiences? They seem to be marketed to the truck guys instead of the jeep community.

I don't have any experience with the Tough Stuff winches but if your after a "budget friendly" winch that's tough and can keep up with the big boys check out the ENGO winches

Haven't heard about tough stuff. But I can vouch for the engo winch. It saved my butt the other day.

Prices are about half of ENGO's...

anyone else? No?


I'm thinking of being a test monkey on these things.

Thing that sold me on Engo was the low amp draw compared to most winches. I've seen many a JK on the trail with fried batteries and a couple with fried electronics from over winching and high amp draw winches.

That and Chris at Jeep Add Ons is a stand up guy that will work for his customers if they have an issue with products he sells.

I would check those two boxes before pulling the trigger on that winch.

I think you should just try out the Tough Stuff winch.

I've done a little research on them online and they look good. Few cons about them but nothing serious. I would go for it and let us know you experience with it. A write-up would be awesome.
