I love my USA built warn!
I had a XD9000i, I used the hell out of it. Then sold it to buy the warn above. My buddy who bought it just about ripped his hand off the first time he used it, do to the line speed!
In my eyes, warn is the way to go.
Some of my friends have smittybuilts (10k) they work but they are slow and those guys are not the first one to offer a line ( do to insecurities?) it seems that when someone is stuck a warn guy is the first to say "I'll get my jeep".
I have seen in person, a smittybuilt on it's first and last use. My buddy was in a ditch in the snow and he was not even out by the time the smitty killed it's self.
I don't mean just quit working, it ripped it's self apart.
He was pulled out with my warn, I wish I still had pic it was crazy!
Warn for the win!
