99 XJ

Ok so I've been reading reviews and I'm thinking about getting a smittybuilt xrc 8 winch what kinda luck have you guys had and what's the cheapest place you have found to buy so far I have found 299 with free shipping

check out the new warn VR8000 winch at Quadratec.com

Check into Rough Country Winch's, pretty much the same winch but cheaper, plus i believe you can use your forum discount of 10% thru Grimmus (our RC forum vendor)

Have you got it stuck in mud up to or past the Axels so it's real hard to pull out if so any jumping or binding or was it a smooth pull out

jbarger4

I'm not sure what you mean by jumping or binding? ??



But i did notice its not easy to get the cable broke in i have used it moor than a few times pulling hard and it still wants to coil up and birds nest on me

The cable jumps and crunches when it doesn't wind up evenly and piles up on one side witch i hate and will prob be replacing with a rope

I have had it stuck bad to the point where it almost stopped pulling it was with only like 15feet of line out tho
i don't have a ****** block yet

And no weird noises that i noticed
wireless remote is pretty much the only reason why i went with the rc o and the price for sure
