Anyone have problems with this winch? I'm thinking about getting one. They are $300 here. Would they be strong enough to pull a full size truck out from my jku? I would rather have more than enough power to winch with. I think it would be fine for my jeep.
I have that winch on my unit. I did have a problem with the controller plug, where it plugs into the plug on the winch. It's really a poor design, so it failed, but not till three years. I fixed it by using a trailer flat four wireing harness, and it works great again.
I had to pull myself up a hill, all 100 feet of cable out, and two chains, to get me to a tree big enough to secure to. Pulled me right out. Of course, it was rolling stock, not buried in mud, but I could not drive out of the hole I was in.
I would buy another of these, if that answers your question.
They got a 8500lb rugged ridge on amazon right now for like $270 shipped
