Superwinch EPi9.0S

[Bomar]

I searched and i didn't find anything on mud about this winch but it seems like a good deal with syn line already.

Any bad things about Superwinch? For $750 with a alum hause and line and snatch block seems like a good deal.

thoughts???

I recently purchased the EP9.0 for my 80 and unexpectedly used it a lot at CM this year. I don't know about the installation on the 62 but if you have an ARB on your 80 the integrated winches won't fit properly. I too nearly pulled the trigger on the same unit you mention only to find out that it wouldn't fit. I ended up with the EP9.0 and after some minor issues during the expedited install I have been very happy with it.

Once it was in and functioning I installed Viking synthetic rope and an aluminum fairlead.

Although Rokmen publishes great prices I was never able to get him to return calls or emails. I ended up working a deal with Truck Add-ons based off published prices and unavailability at Winch Depot. I don't recall the actual price but suffice to say they beat the hell out of Winch Depot by a significant margin and included shipping due to their meet or beat policy. It's worth a call.

The EP/EPi series winches are by far the best bang for the buck winches out there

Unlike the others, they have an external brake that won't melt synthetic line

The pop-n-spin clutch handle won't sieze up (or break) over time like the usual lever handles and their submersible Albright noid pack is the best in the business

Like IBCRUSN said, the EPi won't fit the 80 unless you have winchmount bumper

The EP is virtually identical (minus the top bridge) and fit behind the stock bumper on my 80 just fine

I plan on buying another for the rear soon

You could get a standard EP and outfit it with synthetic line and hawse for about the same price as an EPi9.0S
