The x2o is legit for its price range. I have one and its been good to me so far. I run a flatlink and its not necessary. I only replaced my hook because it rusted to crap. If you plan on replacing the hook, you will have to cut it off. There are also other less alternatives to factor 55 if you so choose. I also have a warn epic hook that I was gifted and I do like that alot also.

Right now we are getting close to the holiday season, I would wait to see if you can catch it on sale. Good luck with your purchase.
Well said. Recently installed the Victory 4x4 Blitz bumper and the XO2 12K winch with the Factor 55 fairlead and flatlink. Used twice, once on myself and once on a buddy with an old 2door jeep. No sweat recovery either time.
That said, without the access holes for the clutch and the master switch, it would have been much more difficult to access the controls.

Just a update:

my shittybuilt still works great. Just went to clean it up and make sure it is in good working order for an upcoming trip.

I ditched the factor 55 flatlink and went back to a warn hook.

After using the winch a few times, and using both a hook and flatlink, the hook works better for my applications. Although, their isn't anything sexy about a hook...unless you are a pirate.

^ Glad to hear your SB x20 is still treating you well. I recently ordered one, but since I’m in for a bit of a wait for SSO to ship my Slimline bumper, I won’t be putting my x20 to any use for a while.

How long the wait on the bumper?

SSO says around 10-12 weeks, but I’m hoping it’s an over estimate and it will actually be a little shorter. I’ve had to play the waiting game a few times before with some previous orders, so not a big deal if the 10-12 weeks ends up being accurate.

Thank you for the info. Looking at getting one soon, was curious about the time to get it delivered, not that 10-12 weeks would deter me.

Had one. Never used it once. Always made sure to clean it and tension it accordingly. Still, somehow, the rope managed to destroy itself. They even sent me a new one free to replace it because they were confused.

Ended up going with a Warn instead and gave the Smittybilt to a buddy.
