China freight has their 12k winch on sale for $289. I swear most of these winches come from the same factory in china.

lots of places say free shipping..then you look into it and it will say things like....this item does not qualify for free shipping to Alaska or Hawaii..
Im even an Amazon Prime member and with them too you put some things in your cart and it will come back...cant ship to alaska
HOWEVER today I ordered my winch from amazon...only $4 more than other sites ....got the typical email....thanks for your order....now IM waiting for the email that says.....this item does not ship to alaska

thanks but dont flame me....many say they are junk...many say good....so had to go with my wallet.
smitty built 10,000 lb synthetic line....x2o competition.
5 year electrical and lifetime mechanical warranty
ive read some people like the harbor freight ones....but no harbor freight in alaska and dont know if I can trust those
so far no notices from amazon saying cant ship
and yes lots of neat places to explore, really could have used a winch last year...got stuck bad...luckily a popular place and after a few hours someone came along that would pull me out....pulled out by a taco
stupid me....did not have my come along in the time, it was at my building project...did not have a hijack at the time ( do now) and did not have traction boards...do now
after amazon confirms they will ship . gonna get a land anchor I think...drive some places where there are no trees to tag on to

Very cool. I ordered the Gen3 9.5k Smittybilt synthetic winch, hopefully we both don't get a fluke.

Looks like you and I are at near total opposite sides of the USA. Your a few hundred miles from Key West....the southern point of eastern US...and IM out west a few hundred from Deadhorse....the upper most dead end for roads in the US.

Yeah, no kidding! My good friend down here in Tampa is planning to run to Alaska in 2021. If I have the time (and money) I'll try to go with him.
