Love this WARN Winch

Love this WARN Winch. Only issue we came across on the install is having to shave down the fog lights for the Winch to line up correctly. Other than that, extremely happy with this. Worth every penny.

Good

Literally mount the winch. Run the power and ground to battery and drive off. Beefy winch. Quality was excellent. The Bluetooth/wired remote is a nice touch.

Go for it

Sometimes the wireless connection is spotty. Maybe it needs new batteries or something other than that everything else is amazing.

Best winch

Warn winches are always a great choice when it comes to winch selection. Easy to install and easy to use. All of my toys have Warn brand winches installed, you can't go wrong.
