Awesome winch, awesome price, awesome functionality
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
Awesome affordable winch, and cheap shipping to Hawaii! I installed this 9500lb winch onto my 2006 Nissan Xterra Offroad. The installation is very simple with the instructions given. Both the wiring and the clocking of the gear housing was simple as pie. The winch came boxed up really well to avoid damage during shipping. Utilizing both Styrofoam and multi-layer cardboard, the winch came undamaged all the way to Hawaii. The winch is very heavy, so be careful when moving the box around. I mounted the solenoid relay box inside of the bumper and relocated the remote connector onto the grille. The handheld remote has a magnet on the end, to just stick it onto a metal surface, like your fender or bumper. Would've been cool if the surface was rubberized, to prevent scrataching and marring of the surface you stick it onto. Not a deal breaker tho. The connector is not engineered right for the application. The source-side connector is composed of male pins. This is a no-no. Source side should always be female to prevent objects from going inside and shorting the circuitry out.

Better value than Warn
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
I have purchased 3 of these winches over the years. They've always worked flawlessly and seem to be a much better value than Warn. This last one didn't come with a cover like the previous ones, but otherwise I am pleased. I've used them on both Jeeps and fullsize pickups and had great service.

It's sure a better deal than Badland!
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
I couldn't say how happy I am with this winch with only words. You would have to come see it in person here in Colorado. Since buying it, I have used it only 2 times. First time was just after I put it on...the directions say to un-spool it all and re-spool it up. I used my girlfriend's Grand Cherokee to do so. Now, with it being in neutral and being pulled up a very slight grade, it wasn't anything spectacular, but I will say that I spooled all of it up and the winch NEVER got hot! I didn't stop once! My Badland 9,500lb winch got hot and shut off doing the same thing. Second time I used it was to straighten a trailer out that had been jackknifed. Bent the frame that holds in the load and also the tongue. I used my winch and my tree saver to tie it up and it didn't hesitate! Didn't even think twice about it. I had other plans for the winch as well. I wanted a wireless kit and an in-cab solution. I spent $75 for the in cab controller from Prime4x4.com and the $15 wireless kit from here off Amazon. I have a review over for the wireless kit here ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKE84X2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). With that being said, the only problem I have is with the mounting of the solenoid box over the motor. The 3mm Alan key stripped out 1/4 of the screws. It gave replacements of the same size so no worries. Also, while mounting it over the motor, the 3mm Alan key was a tough thing to screw in. I recommend installing the bracket to the box, then the wires, then the box to the winch. I bought the in-cab controller so I could have the controls inside if ever needed. Also to drive as I winch. Now, I know what you're thinking..."The winch remote is long enough to go from the cab to the front bumper on most vehicles!" and you're right, it is. But I'd prefer to not have to get out and go try to find the remote then plug it in then do all that. I LOVE being able to switch the safety on and start un spooling from the comfort of my driver's seat. It was also a way better way to add the wireless kit and not have it spool when I walked around (has a key chain remote as well). I have to have the switch on to use the in cab and the wireless. By the way, BLUE wire is out and GREEN wire is in for the winch! Reason I chose this winch...Well, I used to have a Badland winch on my XJ and it did alright. Price was $298.45 PLUS $49.49 for shipping. Now, I had a $50 Amazon gift card to use. So shipping would have been covered. BUT then I found this winch. Compared to the Badland winch it has 40' more line, 500lbs more pulling capacity, free shipping, and is waterproof with a 6.6hp motor! When it was all said and done, the choice was simple: Smittybilt winch. I ended up with the winch, a tree saver, and a cover for $305. (Tax was $15 for me since I live in Colorado) It'san awesome winch for the every other day wheeler. Don't expect to be pulling yourself up all day though. Not made for that. But it will get you out of a bind!

Powerful & Reliable
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
Purchased this winch in October 2018 for a homemade logging trailer with a lifting arch at the back. I bolted the winch to some 4" C-Channel, bolted that to the trailer frame, and put the whole thing in a toolbox up front. For others aiming to use this winch in an application other than offroad, know that there was nothing provided to let me bolt the fairlead to the winch. I cut a hole in the toolbox and welded some mounts to the C channel so I could throughbolt the fairlead, and that's worked just fine. I swear I've put this winch through hell. I've pulled out a couple dozen giant uprooted stumps, rocks the size of Galapagos turtles, I've winched my skid steer out of 3' of mud, and other general silliness. I've snapped 3/8" chain, sheared through weld-on D-rings rated for 12,000 lbs, sheared chain grab hooks clean off, and this thing just keeps right on pulling. I've put somewhere between 2 and 6 hours of heavy winching per week on this thing for the last two years -- many of them with the winch at its absolute limit of pulling power -- and it just keeps going. Do absolutely make sure you have tension on the cable when winding in, and/or stretch & rewind the whole cable when you first get it. I didn't, and the cable crimped on top of itself in a few places, but it still hasn't broken in two years of heavy use! It sits in a covered toolbox, so I have no experience with the 'weatherproof' issues others have mentioned. I have (repeatedly) blown a little mini fuse buried inside the winch (that I don't think they mention in the user manual), but that's easy enough to fix, and honestly I think it was mostly due to low voltage from the battery (not hooked up to any sort of alternator, I just put a battery tender on it at the end of the day). I read through the many reviews before I bought this, particularly the negative ones, and I'm really glad I bought this winch. Everything that I needed, and it keeps right on working.

Strong, reliable winch for the money
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
I’ve been running the Smittybilt XRC-9.5K Gen2 for a few months, and it’s been a solid performer. The 6.6 hp motor and 3-stage gear system pull hard and steady — no issues recovering my Jeep from some deep mud. Installation was straightforward, and the IP67 waterproof rating holds up in rain and creek crossings. It’s heavy, and the steel cable adds even more weight, but that’s the trade-off for durability. The remote plug feels a bit loose, so I added some dielectric grease for peace of mind. For the price, you can’t beat it — great performance, solid build, and good warranty coverage. Perfect for weekend off-roaders who want reliability without spending a fortune.

Happy so far
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity
Style: Single
My review is based on initial reaction and installation only since I haven't actually used it yet. The box came pretty beat up but nothing was damaged. Installation was a little tricky in my case, primarily because I have an aftermarket bumper from EAG and bolting the winch from under the bumper was a little difficult. The solenoid install on the winch is a little weird. I installed in on top. It is held by two small screws, and even though it doesn't seem like it will come off, it does slide a bit. Not happy about that but time will tell. Snaking the cables up to the battery was tricky as well because the negative cable is shorter, so depending on how you do it you may end up short. The trick is to bring it up right next to the radiator. Last thing, the nagative cable should hook into a post that is just off of the terminal. However, by default your Jeep will NOT have a nut there. No idea why. Save yourself some time and go down to home depot and get it while it ships. You need a M6 x 1.0 size nut. The winch looks solid and I am sure it will work well. Happy so far.

Good winch for the money but received a used product
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity

I had an XRC 9500 on an old truck and it was a great winch, never had any problems with it. Decided to get another one for my car hauler but the winch that arrived was clearly a previously returned unit. Mistakes happen, but I would prefer a new winch so I have initiated a return with the seller.
