I think I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this sooner rather than later.

No one's dealt with SPORTZTRAILERS on ebay before?

[redhatman]

byuen, I believe they are similar to Tmax...the wire even is labeled tmax

first, calling someone mentally "retarted" is pretty retarded itself. But then to criticize their spelling!

I just ordered one from them, 249.99 + 65.00 shipping, I could almost drive to albuq. for that price LOL.

several here have ordered from them. they do a bunch of stuff several thousand parts a month and have little negative feedback.

Confirmed here also. 5.5hp Series Wound motor.
with a backward installed clutch switch

I have nothing to complain about yet, I would much rather have the little sticker backwards dilema than something else.

"ONLY GRADE 5"??? If you didn't know, Grade 5 is more than strong enough for a Jeep size winch. Warn, SuperWinch, Ramsey, MileMarker hydraulic, etc. winches all ship with Grade 5 hardware... not a Grade 8 bolt in the box.

Ordered a bumper from them a couple weeks back. They were 30 bucks cheaper than anyone else and I got my part in five days.

i have the HighRock 4x4 front bumper would i still have to buy a mounting plate for this bumper? also have any of yall heard anything about the new XRC-10? or is that really overkill for a winch on a jeep

[BYuen]

I'm not sure about your bumper, but a 10K winch is a little on the high side. I do not believe it is overkill. I run a 9.5K winch. A 12k or 15k winch is overkill for a Jeep. With a 9-10K winch it's always nice to have that extra margin of power.

This is my VERY FIRST post here! I recently got off the various stump jumpers I had, and got an honest to goodness Jeep.

I read this thread cover to cover, and at a 4 Wheel Parts.com expo that was held here in Western WA this weekend, I plunked down for one of these. It was $299+tax, and they threw in a bunch of little nick nacks, like a tow strap and velcro-on hand grips.
But I had to carry the thing out myself, through the entire expo center, and to the back of a 16 acre parking lot.

Is 8,000lbs what the thing is rated at, or what it weighs? My arms were just DEAD!

No kidding though, its a heavy thing. 80 lbs is what specs say.
