ok guys, I'm hunting a winch, after last night's "petty exertions" I've had it, I'm ordering a bumper and a winch, and, will have enough spare line that I don't ever have to be part of the "oh hell I'm stuck, and I need someone else to come save me" group.
So, I'm down to choices:
Engo 9000 (will order the wireless controller kit, and relocate the solenoid box to somewhere under the hood) ($279.95)
engo 9000 with synthetic line ($405)
Smittybilt XC8 ($299.99)
Badlands 12K (harbor freight: $299.99 on sale)
Recon 10,500 ($415 with wireless controller and wired controller, and synthetic line) (will get from truckandwinch because they're extending warranty to 3 years on electronics instead of just 1, for free)
now, out of these, the Engo has glowingly fantastic reviews by professional sources, the smittybilt is a go-to but, I've heard as many bad as I have good reviews....and, the HF one...well...it's a HF winch....
ya'll chime in for me, would ya and give me some input...
