I havent used the winch out in the trails yet, I hope it will pull me out. It looks good on the jeep. I didnt get the cover with the winch so its sitting out in the rain though. I called about it today and the guy said that it comes from smittybuilt. What a joke!

I really like my new winch it was easy to install. It was inexpensive, and works really well

The winch itself is great. Works like a charm. That said, the instructions are not so great. Details are spread randomly throughout, with some parts or details not even mentioned (had to simply guess). Luckily, the wiring is well marked, with a label on each wire coinciding with a label on each connector. However, even that didn't go entirely smoothly. For example, while the instructions said to connect the main power wires directly to the battery, the negative (-) wire is much shorter than the positive (+) wire. Ended up connecting the shorter wire to a bolt under the hood, hoping that would provide a sufficient electrical connection. It worked. Once assembled, connected the remote and nothing happened. Wiring checked out fine on a multimeter. Instructions offered nothing helpful. Took a break to think things over. After studying the plug on the remote, reversed it in the socket, gave it a 1/4 turn in that socket, the winch roared to life.
