Wow that's a $1100 winch. Way over my budget.
This winch is double the cost of a vr8000, or 350 bucks more than a vr8000s. That's a big price difference. Funny thing is when it comes to my vehicle it's a big debate. When I sell these to customers, it's what can I make the most money on lol. Although, last 3 that I sold were warn xd9000i, westin something, and a warn m8000. All of these never came back with issues. Or have seen offroad lol, mall crawlers.
My concern is fitting it behind the bumper too. Since I am using a bud built hidden winch Mount.
Everything I read, it's I should have gotten a warn or super winch.
Would you guys also just go cheap and buy steel cable first then go synthetic later?

I kept my steel cable. Yeah, weights more but I don't have to worry about the winch line rubbing up against rocks or tree or anything. I can also wrap the cable around a downed tree and connect it to itself and pop the tree in half. I like the utility of it. Can do that stuff with out fraying a synthetic. Just my .02 cents.

i was thinking, i want a mercedes or a BMW, thats warn and superwinch.
even a entry level mercedes still is better than top of the line kia, IMHO
so a entry level warn is still better than a top of the line engo or smittybuilt...slight exaggeration there but you get the idea.

I've got a Supwerwinch and a Milemarker, no problems with either.
The Superwinch has seen tons of action over the 30 years Ive had it, first on my CJ5 and then on my '83. The Milemarker on my 84 has been used a few times to rescue other people.

I think Warn gets the brand recognition in the US but if you look worldwide I think Superwinch is just as well liked. There husky series were used for years on the land rover vehicles in the camel trophy events and were surely put to the test there.
