Comments: Love the winch...could not be any happier..Pulls like a son of a gun..easy install...It came with everything needed...There tech line was always helpfull...
Comments: Great winch for the money. Very well made. I was weary about buying one at first until others in our club bought them and I saw how well they worked.
Comments: I've had to use this winch only a few times, but it has come through every time. It pulled my friends Pathfinder out of a foot of mud like we were in a parking lot.
Comments: Winch, cover and free shipping at winchdepot.com made this a deal i couldn't pass up. My buddy also picked up the same winch. No rating as of yet, have not gotten it installed.
Very loud, sounds like a rock tumbler or like its mashing gravel.
Recommended
yes
Comments: Pulls great but sounds like its grinding rocks around. (that seems to be the trademark sound of a smittybilt winch) It pulls hard and does not seem as slow as many seem to complain about.
Comments: Awesome. Heavy duty and great price. Highly recommended! Made my own winch plate it was easy to install. Wiring is T-max so it may be from them.
Comments: I haven't installed the winch yet..........................................................................................................................
Comments: What a great winch for a reasonable price. 10,000 lbs is a good amount for the JK, although I haven't fully tested that she has performed really well. Good customer service from smittybilt thus far
Well made, very heavy, nice cabling. Great look with optional mounting for control box.
Cons
Remote plug is on front and will not mount correctly on the sister bumper, the XRC front bumper.
Recommended
yes
Comments: I purchased the XRC winch and bumper combo. See my other review about the bumper, but the winch is made very well and extremely heavy made. The winch mounted right on the bumper, but the design needs the remote plug made on the back of the control box instead of the front. I had to move the remote plug to the back of the control box to make it mount correctly because the front bumper guard blocks the remote plug whether the box is mounted on the rails or the motor. Other than that is a sweet set.
This winch is a great value. A Warn would be a $1000 easy. Simple controls. The option of where you want to mount the power pack.
Cons
As long as it keeps pulling no cons. It has'nt failed me yet.

yes
Comments: As long as you can find something strong to hook to, it will pull you out. The first time I used it I did'nt like the rough noise it made, but after doing some research it is a common traight of this winch (it's only down side) that does'nt affect it's performance at all. I don't care what noise it makes as long as it continues to work so well for such a cheap price. Heck I could buy another for a spare and still not pay what it cost for one Warn. I know they are good, but a Warn would'nt get me any more unstuck than my XRC10.
Comments: So far i ahve only had to use this once to pull me out and it worked great. Also used it to help pull out a brush fire truck when one of my crew members got it stuck and it worked great.
Fast line speed compared to my old winch (chicago electric 8klbs), Great Price
Cons
none so far
Recommended
yes
Comments: Price included a lifetime warranty installation was a breeze. Power cable terminals were just a tad small to fit over my marine style battery terminals. Power cables were just barely long enough for the run from bumper to battery
Comments: I have used mine a few times now(never on myself), and it gets the job done. Helped some kids that got them self stuck after doing something stupid in the mud. It even pulled a mid 80's Suburban up a hill with no problems. It may be a little slow but it will finish the race. Looks sharp, and even works perfect after hitting a deer, and destroying the power box.
Comments: Meets all of my needs and more. I have had zero issues with it.
