WARN96805 VR8-S Electric 12V Winch with Synthetic Rope: 3/8" Diameter x 90' Length, 4 Ton (8,000 lb) Pulling Capacity

I burn through my Winch one way or another almost every year or two.This one was only a few wees old, and I had to do a recovery on my bucket loader that sank 3 feet deep over the tires.. I had to use it for one of the most serious rescues ever. I hooked the cable to the factory ring and started to wench her. No luck, she sank more. So I get the stupid idea that I will snatch her out by letting out 25 feet of cable, back my truck up to the edge of the wet land. drop her in to low gear and nail the gas. Keep in mind deep Mud, and a steep up hill grade.... I back up the the muds edge.. Floor the gas peddle. BAM a bad bad sound I hear. I get out of the truck, the loader is set free. The tail gate on my trailer is ripped off the trailer. The wench and the steel mount are on the ground. where it landed after it ripped of my tail gate. The Winch was un harmed,and my trailer is getting a new mount welded to it and a new tail gate for the low price of $1300.00 dollar's. Yeah, it was worth it... NOT!! The wench is just fine. I see on uTube fools like me pulling a car that went over a cliff .. Y CAI'NT I... pull a loader out of a swamp.. I purchased a Snatch as well. When everything is fixed I am going back to this swamp and backing into the same spot and see if this snatch block really works.NO I am not so frigging stupid to not bring a few friends with tow trucks. Any way, This wench is great. for normal use and people no as stupid and me..

This winch looks great, works great was very easy to install in an M1 bumper on my FJ. I had to fab a simple relocation bracket for the control box which was easy thanks to Warn's awesome design. The wires, the warranty, the hook, the hawes fairlead are all top notch (cast iron does rust people that don't wheel with the mall queen brodozer AHHHHH) I am very pleased with this purchase a great winch at a great price that is not just an ornament. WARN MAKES THE BEST WINCHES AND BACKS UP THEIR PRODUCTS PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Read about the people who went cheap and then regretted it right here on Amazon.

Great winch! I attached this to the Westin winch tray on my 2008 Ford F250. No problems with fit up. The winch has a 10' corded remote control so you can stay clear when using or operate from inside the cab. All parts are quality and there was no damage from shipping or receiving. Bolt holes match perfectly and all pieces and parts are a solid fit. Easy to operate and I am looking forward to years of use.

I didnt care for the poorly interpreted instructions & there was Absolutly no mention of bolt pattern for winch or the fairleadcame with wrong fairleadremote quit working after about 5 minutes of useseller wants me to pay the shipping cost to return it - I will NOT be purchasing any more WARN winch products if I can help itI was wanting to use the winch to to pull logs to a sawmill

It already got me out of a tough situation

Works perfectly out of the box. Already wound cable on drum - Must completely unwind and wind cable under some load (500LBS) before first use!!!Used this several times in the first couple of days. Pulled my JKU sideways up a steep grade when the mud and rain caused the road to slide away. Always use eyewear and leather gloves on the steel cable.

I pulled my Sidekick and two deer out of a steep canyon. Love the synthetic rope, no burrs

Great winch for the money and a breeze to install. Going to buy another one for my Gladiator.
