  • Does a WONDERFUL job. However there are several things that were ...
I am rating this Winch a 5 Star because it is a BEAST, and Does a WONDERFUL job. However there are several things that were not good and had to be overcome to get it to that point. This of course was annoying. The first issue was I got the Winch in and Mounted it to my 2500 Chevy Silverado Diesel. The Winch was SO big I had to make some modifications to the Winch Cradle I got from Tuff Stuff to make it fit the Curt 31042 Front trailer hitch. 2nd after I did 5 pulls with the Winch it just completely quit and would never work again. Now I did do four of those five pulls back to back. However that should NOT have been enough to kill it, but it did. So I told Amazon and they promptly sent me a new one that arrived within 2 days, which was nice. No questions were asked. I have used the new one for 10 pulls and it is VERY strong and works Amazing!! 3rd Alot of the fastener hardware is cheap Chinese screws that have the head strip out easily if you don't press it hard as an 800 lb. Gorilla can. I recommend replacing ALL fasteners with American made Stainless Steel equivalents. 4th they sent the Wrong Mounting bracket so I could not Mount the Module on the left side of the unit like I had preferred to do. Going to call SmittyBilt and see if they will send me the correct bracket. 5th So since the side mount Bracket did not have the correct fitment I had to use the center mount method. Well once installed the module, it would slide from side to side on the cross members. So I had to take it off and bend the Bracket so when mounted it would be tight and could not move. A hassle for sure but not that big of a deal. 6th the second winch that came in had a remote that would randomly bump the line back out into Spool out mode. So While I would try to wind it up the line would just start coming back out. I corrected this by taking the first Winch'es Remote and sending back the second Winch'es remote with the defective Winch. The Winch has Not had that problem at all since trading out remotes. 7th on both Units You have to bump the Remote in or out sometimes to get the clutch to engage or disengage. (Not to big of a deal just a little Quirky) 8th Finally the Free Spool is a little difficult. I am 6'-4" and a pretty strong guy, However I have to really put the Muscle into it and really lean all my weight into pulling the line to get it off the drum. I know that was alot, but if you can get past these quirks as I did the Winch is actually quite Outstanding. The main thing is I think SmittyBilt REALLY needs to up their game on the Quality control department, as well as upgrading ALL fastener hardware. I have loaded vehicles onto trailers, pulled up stumps and destroyed a mobile home with this Winch. it is Very Stout. I will come back and give it a 6 month review when that time comes. IF this unit ends up dying in that time.... I will get it fixed, sell it, and buy the Most expensive Warn I can find. I hope it Will not come to that though..... and by all the other reviews I have seen.... I dont think it will. I say Give this Winch a try You Might end up liking it. ... show more

  • Value Proposition is a 9
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity Style: Single
Installing it I got that feeling this is a high quality piece of gear. Right up until it's one black eye, more on that in a minute. It's heavy, well made, well thought out. I've already worked it way harder pulling up weed trees than most folks ever would, including me, unsticking vehicles. I've had to use a snatch block as I was over loading it and it handled this type of load in stride. As far as installation goes you have to understand one reason it's got such a low price is it's packaged so one size attempts to fit all. Some, like me, the cables will be too long... some too short. It's easy to customize or have a pro put it in. No way they can please everyone at this price. Pros: Shipped/delivered as promised. I can't say that often now days Installation was drama free with realistic expectations Instructions were adequate Easy to operate Pulls like a Clydesdale heading toward the feed bag Excellent attention to detail, magnet in remote is one quality example Cables are copper welding quality, didn't expect this Cons... no Con there is only one C'mon Smitty, that over the cable mounting of the control head is a joke and boder line dangerous. Your other mounting options are equally poor. You can do better than this with this great product. I'm going to extend my cables and mount mine in the engine compartment. No big deal. Would I buy it again? Heckin Yes! This might be my all time favorite Amazon value since 2006. Thank you Smitty ... show more

  • Excellent winch
Size: 9500 lb. Load Capacity Style: Single
I’ve had multiple Smittybilt’s through the years on several of my jeeps. Never had any major issues at all and they’ve never failed to work. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality winch but don’t want to spend $1k and up for a Warn.

  • Great winch for the money and easy to install.
I have had this winch on my truck for about a week now and havet needed it yet but when I do I will post again and give a useful review, the only reason I didn't give this winch 5 stars was that when I received it, the box that the winch was in was inside another box and both boxes were destroyed to the point that the driver that delivered it to me had to hand me small bags of items that was supposed to be inside the box. The packaging was completely inadequate for the weight of this winch. Now to be fair i am pretty sure that the company did not ship it out this way and all the damage to the boxes was done by UPS. But for future reference the company should know that it will be torn up during shipping and do a bit more to try and make sure all parts and bags get to the customer like by adding a few more layers of outer boxes. Besides that I did play a bit with the winch after it was installed and I have a 1986 Chevy C/K Scottsdale 4x4 on big mud tires and decided that I would try and pull my truck uphill to check the winch. Long story short, it worked like a dream. Smooth and didn't even bog down when I added some items under the tires for a bit more testing. This winch is strong and well worth the money. One more reason for the 4 star instead of 5 was that this winch needs a keychain remote to go with it. Because with me sitting in my truck i have to keep my arm outside the window and almost lean out to be behind the wheel and work the winch. ==Pro's== Strong, durable winch Great Price Easy to install Easy to use Looks great ==Cons== No wireless remote Packaging was destroyed when it got to me, so suggestion to the company is to add a few more layers of boxes around the main box. I purchased this winch with my own money and did not get any discounts or free items from Amazon or Smittybilt. So this review is just to make sure that everyone gets an unbiased opinion on the winch. ... show more
