So a buddy of mine just bought a brand new jeep JK and insists that he needs to put a winch on it ==noob. Any suggestions on what would be a good choice that is decently priced? He is trying to go as cheap but still good quality as possible.
harbor freight are cheap just get the warranty with it.
I prefer mile marker

Can't go wrong with warn. You get what you pay for just remember that
i got a 12 badlands from harbor freight 2 years ago no prob yet i think it was like 299 and 80 for the 2 year warranty they go on sale and you can ust the 20% off to get a good deal. the only bad thing about it is it is sloooooow but if you are not in a race no big deal. good for the money
Thanks guys I will pass along the word
Just remember that cheap and winch do not go together.
Yes, it may still spool and work after a few years, etc... but if you have a winch, you are depending on it to free you from a situation... get something that wont let you down.
I have seen "cheap" winches burn up after 150ft of use... and there was still 200' left to get to solid ground.
