I talked to 4 wheelparts bout 2 weeks ago they said that their first shipment was already pre sold and almost all of the seconded. So I drove down to their Nashville, TN store yesterday and picked one up they only had like 5 unsold ones lefted

I'm not running their new winch, but I have their old 8000lb (I think). Works great, slow though. Biggest thing I would look for in a winch if I was to get a new one would be the synthetic rope.

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, I know how much I hate asking questions & getting 1000 views & no responses....


Good luck

Let us know what you think. I ordered mine with synthetic rope a month ago. I should have it in my hands tomorrow. On paper it's good value but being so new we are taking a bit of a gamble!

As far as I can tell, the new Smittybilt 9.5k is a re-branded version of the new T-Max HEW9500.

As show in this video, it should work for at least one pull (haha) !

Default It arrived!

It's out of the box... and so far no complaints! ... well, other than the sticker being in the wrong place I'll post further impressions after using it.
