Hey guys,
So I was going to get the lower end Warn VR10, because its a Warn. Then was talked into the waterproof Smittybilt 10K winch by the 4WP sales rep (they own Smitty). Basically the logic is I get a full, no hassle warranty, and "essentially the same" winch or better, unless I stepped up to the very expensive Zeon line. The lower end Warns are no better than Smitty, according to him.
I will not use this much. Maybe a few times lifetime, likely a couple times a year max. To me, this isn't the piece to really splurge on ($600 vs $1800) as I'm not a "serious" off-roader.
Thoughts? I haven't picked it up yet, so its not too late.
