Cons Does not come with mount for control box

Comments: Bought this when 4wheelparts was having an awesome sale. Have only used it a couple times, but it works as described and was very easy to hook up. Will post more when Im able to really put it to a test.

Pros Perfect size winch for most Jeeps and the price is right.
Cons No bracket included for remote solenoid.
Recommended yes

Comments: Like most people, I've only had to use mine a couple of times, but on both occassions it worked like a champ and made the initial purchase price seem like even more of a bargain. This is a great winch for backcountry exploration and is perfectly paired to the size/weight of the Jeep.

If you are needing to yard your rig up the vertical face of a waterfall on a regular basis, then this isn't the winch for you. For self-recovery in most any 'normal' off-highway situations, the M8000 is more than up to the task of getting you back on the road.

Pros price, reputation, works good
Cons solenoid pack blocks radiator
Recommended yes

Comments: Easy to mount and wire. Main complaint is the mount for the solenoid pack. It sits front and center of the radiator. The winch itself is offset to the passenger side because of the motor location. With longer cables, the controller pack would fit to the driver side of the winch on the winch plate with cables going over to the motor on the passenger side, which would let more air to the radiator.

Comments: Overall you cant get a better winch for the money. Warn has a great reputation for outstanding products, and customer service. If someone is looking for a great winch and the best winch for there money they will buy the M8000

Pros Does its intended job (when it works)
Cons Electrical controller box does not stand up to use/elements
Recommended yes

Comments: I've had mine for a few years. the first year+, it worked great.

Electrical problems started. Customer service has been alright. They have talked me through some troubleshooting on the phone, but the problem is still there.

I've given up on fixing it myself, and sent it out for servicing. Maybe when it comes back, I'll be happy again.

Sucks, because I bought it due to its reputation. Many other have had no problem with theirs...
