Winch it!
This is a solid heavy duty winch. Had no issues pulling a 6000 lb mid size pickup. Works great in all regards. Only wish it came with extra remote controller. It competes with Badlands winch but for less cost. Not any noisier than any other comparable winch.

Great Value for the Money!!!
Winch was pretty straight forward. Packaged well, Great instructions, easy installation, works as far as I know. I have not put a load on it but it goes in and out and sounds good. The cordless control is nice and works well from a long way away!! It's tucked in behind my bumper and would not be easy to steal!! The only negative I have to say is the red nylon pull strap they give you to pull out the wire rope pulled apart at the stitching the first time I pulled on it?

Solid winch, intuitive install
I bought this with the intention of infrequent but critical use. I advise wiring up the controller first. Alignment of the control box bolts is a bit off from the threaded bolt holes on top of the winch. The only install instructions are a wiring diagram (useful) at the back of the operating manual. The interrupt switch was a useful surprise - figured out where to put it on the fly. There was plenty of wiring cable to battery for my Jeep Gladiator. My test run was quiet and easy - worked the first time both wired and wireless. The hook clamping to the face plate with just winch taughtness is tidy and cool.

This thing is a beast
The box had a warning, team lift recommended. This winch probably weighs over 50 pounds. Seems built to handle a lot of weight. The manual leaves much to be desired. There are parts in the picture of what is included, but not shown in the assembly. The control box that sits on top is well documented, however, I could only get 3 of the screws to line up. Also, the cable plate that guides and protects the synthetic rope is different than the one shown and does not attach to the winch. I landed up buying the optional base that had mounting holes for the plate. There are none on the winch. The plate in the manual uses two mounting holes, the one I got uses four, but there is only hardware for two. I should mention, I am using this on a trailer, not on a vehicle. I am happy with the winch so far, even though I had to spend an extra $100 for the base. I haven't mounted it yet (paid extra to have the base expedited.) so I can't rate it on actual performance, but I have high expectations.

Disappointed
Seems like a nice winch for the price but the control box is open to the elements on one side. Never even got to use it and the control box quit working. I reached out to the company and told them my issue. They sent me a link to buy a new control box for it for another couple hundred. It honestly seems to me like they don’t stand behind their product if they won’t provide replacement parts for poor design. The mounting holes for the control box on top of the winch also didn’t line up and immediately cross threaded. The few times I was able to reel it in and out it seemed to work well but when I actually needed it to work it was just completely dead.

Great looking winches
Just installed, looks to be well made. I have operated to make sure it works. Instructions not great but provided. Installed of 2025 JL Rubicon X had steel bumpers but will need to purchase a mounting plate, I went with RC which fits great. Will see how she does out on the trail.

It just needs a upgrade on the synthetic rope
The winch is plenty strong looks good operates good as well. Only problem I’ve had out of it was I used it twice and the rope broke.

very good product
I do a lot of off-roading, which means getting stuck in mud is almost guaranteed sooner or later. My friends always laugh when it happens, but since I got this winch I don’t stress anymore. It’s strong, quick, and really steady. What surprised me most is how quiet it runs. Unlike other winches that squeak and grind, this one works so smoothly it feels effortless. The waterproof design is another big plus. I once got caught in heavy rain and ended up buried in a muddy pit. The winch was completely soaked, and I honestly thought it might fail. Instead, it powered through like nothing had happened and pulled my car out with no trouble at all. That gave me a lot of confidence in its reliability. Now I don’t hesitate to take on tougher tracks. This winch has turned those frustrating moments into just another part of the adventure. If you spend time off-road, it’s the kind of gear that makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.

Très bien.
Bel objet, bonne finition, livré complet. Bien sûr, faut bricoler un peu pour l'adapter au châssis, mais çe n'est pas le fait du treuil, ça. Premier essai sur pente d'environ 30 dg avec marouflage une poulie et retour crochet d'arrimage voiture : même pas mal. Bref, nickel.

Good winch but poor customer service.
Very powerful winch but does not come with the L shaped steel wire guide. Sent them a message asking where to purchase but did not receive reply. Winch excellent, customer service dreadful.
