Where to Buy a Winch

[SHagood]

With all these random covid-19 deals popping up, who has some discount codes for winches? As annoying as 4WPs is, they have no tax and free shipping on the new Gen3 9.5k synthetic winch that I've been looking at.

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..

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.

thanks...we will see how it goes.
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.

I run a Smittybilt X2O 12k pro comp I picked up from my local 4Wheel Parts. Used it a few times, been submerged a few times. No issues with it.

I am looking for a winch too. Since the pandemic started, I prefer ordering my four wheel parts online. I am torn between Warn and Smittybilt.
