Then there was this time, turtled on a rock in Cherry creek, when the 80' of winchline was out and the tree saver attached around a big mesquite, sun going down, when my Warn 10,000 would not pull me off. Bad relay (First time I used it in anger).

Don't bet your life on a winch, but for this price, you could buy two for the price of a Warn. Weld one on your trailer hitch, and one in your bumper, and pull from any direction.

I've had mine for years. I've used it 6 or 7 times.
The last time was last year when I replaced the wire rope with synthetic.
It's just like anything else, test it and maintain it and it will be there when you need it.

inflation is pushing all consumer goods higher ... you can save 20% off any single item

June 16th - June 18th 2023
coupon 59120808 or 37994934

that $629 winch would be down to $495

plenty of reviews and use now on this winch to say it performs as expected.
