Title: off name winch?
Post by: cheapthrills on January 28, 2009, 12:04:16 PM
anyone have any experience with non-warn winches from ebay?

This certainly seems fine from the write up

junk its the same style of the garrila  and venom winches. will break everytime you use.  i will say they send u parts anytime u need.   i would just buy a warn   better bang for the buck

Milemarker is a good brand too if your looking for something cheaper than a warn. only paid 144 for my 2500. only problem i have was the solenoid quit. they honored their warranty tho and sent me a brand new one. Id say do your research for and look at reviews.

I own a Venom 2500 and a 3500.  Never let me down.  Be careful of water.. Make sure the contactor/solenoid is dry and sealed. I bought a Gorilla wireless solenoid which has never failed, 50 or so winches used.
