Default Quadratec Exclusive Q-Series Winches?

Well it looks like www.quadratec.com is making there own winches to compete against SmittyBilt, Superwinch, and Warn. Anyone thoughts and also are they clockable anyone know? The two sizes they have are 9000LB for $294.99 and 11000LB for $394.99 I really wanna know if you can clock these winches because they would be very popular among the ARB pull bar bumper users such as myself.

I'll find out if the winch can be clocked, not sure of that currently. I'm sure there will be tons of questions, concerns, and wonders about our brand winch. All of which I will try to answer as best I can for you.

So for starters, Yes the winch is made in China. It is not the same winch or made in the same factory as Rugged Ridge or Smittybilt brand winches. We sourced the highest quality parts possible for our winch, customized all of the internals for the best performance, and offer a 1 year electrical warranty teamed with a Limited Lifetime mechanical warranty. These winches have been in testing for 4-5 months now, and we've gone through different suppliers, different components, and many different trials. The final product is now on its way to our warehouse, to be in your hands by early March. Youtube videos will be posted soon for everyone to see as well.

The winches can be clocked in 12 different positions

I believe it would be unfair to say "these actually last" since our winch isn't even out yet. Too each their own, but please try not to knock the winch operation until it's on the market and in use by customers.

If Quadratec does any test to show it fits the ARB bumper for the XJ with minor to no fab work when my Smittybilt goes I might jump on yours.
