UPDATE
With the amount of overtime that I'm required to work for the next few months, I am planning to get a higher quality winch and possible go for the gold. It's a matter of value at this point. Since I'm planning to spend more I am only considering WARN products becaues they have my ultimate trust when it comes to quality and reliability. Everyones heard the old saying, "I should have got the Warn." I was planning to risk being part of that group, but it appears that there will be a "cash cow" available for a while.
Here are some options:
M8000 12V (80 ft with Hawse) $600
9.5ti Thermometric $1,100
XD9000i $900
Obviously the M8000 is probably the best value since the winch won't see that much use and won't even be installed on the truck the majority of the time. I don't expect that it would fail me.
Any thoughts?
