Snatch block not included with Superwinch EP9?

[teejnut]

So I just picked up a Superwinch EP9 from Summit Racing (price matched it to winch depot). I didn't see a snatch block included with my winch. I know in the past Superwinch included a snatch block on these winches but has that changed? Looking at their website I don't see any mention of a snatch block included anymore but just wanted to make sure.

don't know about SW specifically, but never assumed/knew that a snatch block normally came with new winches

I've never known any manuf to include the snatch block

Superwinch did include one in the past. Here's another thread I started over on Expo, Snatch block not included with Superwinch EP9? - Expedition Portal Forum

I sent a message to Superwinch to find out for sure.

I bought mine from Amazon a few months ago, and it came with one. Then again Amazon isn't where most people think of to buy a winch, so who knows how long they'd had it.

From Mike @ Superwinch:

"The pulley block is no longer shipped with each EP9.0 winch. When the unit was first introduced to the marketplace the block was included as an added bonus to get end users to try the new product."

Not a shower breaker for me but just wanted confirmation.
