looks just like the smittybuilt.

The Smittybuilt XRC8 and the Gorilla Midnight Series 8,000lb do look similar, but are not identical items.  They both have 5.5 hp motors, but the XRC8 has a 172.8: gear ratio and the Gorilla is 235:1.

The XRC10 is also a 5.5 hp motor with a 218:1 gear ratio so the Gorilla rating might be a bit conservative, but I'd expect slow line speeds.
