so... what ive learned today, if i cant afford the best, i should not get one at all.....

interesting

[HeavyMetal]

the best is a 1500 dollar warn winch IMO..

we are talkin entry level product...

"you get what you pay for" i think is a fair way to look at it, as pete said

[StompJrKz400]

the entry level warn, is designed by warn, but most of the parts are made in china, then assembled in the us, theres a warn vendor on jeepforum that just told me about it.

if i find a warn for under 450 shipped i will get it, else im getting the smitty or the lp8500,

thank you all for your opinions on this topic!

Warn's got great products no doubt but I would go with a superwinch(located in eastern CT) and throw some syn line on it.

[92xjlaredo]

anyone have any input on the syn ropes while were on that subject...heard a LOT of good shit about em

Synthetic is great. Lighter, stronger, safer and no anoyong kinks or bits of metal sticking out that stab and poke you like wire cable.

I originally wanted synthetic, but went with cable becaude of the area i live and what my jeep goes through. My jeep sees a good amount of mud/water/quick sand poop in NJ pine barrens. The grit will all get trapped in the line, causeing it to rip over time. Also the salt from winter salt trucks has a negative effect on the line (unless you want to clean every foot of line everytime it gets dirty). UV rays have a negative effect on the rope. ive also heard mold can develope in the line.

I think wire is cheaper and it will last longer on the east coast in my opinion.. but if your winch will say relativly dry and clean, go synthetic.
