I bought one when it was on sale at HFT for around $320.
It makes more noise than other winches I have seen, but works fine.
I have it mounted on a rec hitch plate, so I can move it to front or rear.
The true test will be longevity.

I have RS on my XJ and it works fine. Will be buying another later for my Durango. The reason I buy RS from HF because of the price and if it need to be replace just bring it to HF store. Almost everything now are made in China.
