Anyone Have A Smittybilt Winch?
I was just wondering if anyone has a smittybilt winch. Are they any good for someone that has never gotten stuck and may never need it, or should I spend twice as much and get a warn?

I have their XRC8 Winch. It has worked well- I've used it about 10 times, and a couple of those were hard pulls. It is slow as molasses though- probably the slowest I've seen. Of course when you need it, that slow speed really doesn't matter- you're just glad you have it. But then afterwards when you need to spool your line back in, it feels painfully slow
