they are similar i think that this brand may put a slightly cheaper solenoids or some thing but its all the same just rebranded and maybe slightly different gear ratings

yeah they all come from the same Chinese factory

I would be more concerned about the motor than the solenoids

It doesn't matter how little you pay if you use it once and get yourself unstuck it's already paid for itself. 200-300 on a one or two time use winch still beats walking home and having to pay a company to tow you out.... If the truck can even get to yours. Just my $0.02

Yeah that guy coped an attitude with you first. Im not defending him just insulted by your response.

I plan on getting that 300 winch, this months JP did a write up on winches for under 700 bucks and gave that one a pretty good write up.
I'm always on a budget, getting a bumper and winch for under a grand is top priority of the summer.

Hey I'm not here to play the "he said she said" game either but your racist comment has no right to be said here,

He may be new and he may have started it, but you are the one that took it to a new level. Lets all get back to the real purpose of this post. Lets here about the winch.

Wow, haven't been on in a couple of days and look what I missed! I wasn't trying to be a dick or start anything, just pointing out the fact that he was kind of talking down about a winch that he apparently knew nothing about.

But that is not what we are here for...so to give you an updated I am still waiting on the backbone to come in but I have started spraying down the steering box bolts with PB so that when I go to take hem off hopefully they will come out pretty easy.
