Cheap on Quadratec, the right price for a high school kid. Anyone have any experience with them or buddies. Likes, Dislikes of the 8500lb winch.

 

how much is it? the XRC8 winch that i have is only $299 and i've had it for 3 years and use it alot and still runs like new...

 

Its 299. plus Shipping of corse. where did you get yours?

 

i got mine off quadratec.com but you can find it pretty much anywhere. mine had free shipping at the time. Here is a link. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92122_1000_07.htm

 

and are you sure its called rough rider? Because i cant find it anywhere.

 

i was looking into Warn but when i search i see this brand come up all the time....It look tempting.

 

warn is good, and but they cost a arm and a leg, my XRC8 hasn't failed anything so far and i use it on a regular basis, (3 years old). I sunk my jeep in some nasty mud once and couldn't see the tires (suction cupped) and i didnt think it would get it out but it didnt even act like it was straining. i've pulled a few dualies out as well, oh and and 18 wheeler that high centered

 

I'd like to recommend www.winchdepot.com. Free quick shipping & great customer service.

 

they have a 2 year warranty.........

 

the rough rider looks just like the super winch lp8500 that i got and i aint had any issues with mine but if i could do it again i would get the xrc 10 its not too much more and its rated for more weight but i have an adult budget lol, since rough rider is new i would get the xrc 8 since thats a well known name and have been well tested by a bunch of member

 

Do you have a bumper to fit a winch?

 

its hard to beat the lifetime warranty on mechanical parts on the warn winches......530 with a wireless remote isnt bad....

 

i fabed by own bumper so that i made sure any possible winch could fit

 

may i recommend pics of the said bumper?

I dont want to say its bad, and i will assume its the best bumper in the world. but i have seen some of the fab work on bumpers, and i would not hook a bungee cord to some.

better safe then sorry

 

ya in the morning i will, i'm pretty sure i should be good its a 10in on top 8in on bottom at angle. quarter inch steal all around.
