This review is from: Smittybilt 98281 XRC 8 Comp Series Black Winch with Synthetic Rope and Aluminum Fairlead
UPDATE 4-5-2011. I Called Smittybilt customer Service (Also procomp) and turns out when amazon.com shipped my unit it’s possible the carrier dropped the box a certain way. My clutch lever was loose and this is NOT normal. They are sending me a replacement unit and gear cover to fix the issue for free. So if you purchase this – make sure the lever is tight when shifted from freespool to engaged as mine was pretty loose and could move with a pinky. B/c of the good customer service – i’ve changed to 5 stars END UPDATE I just installed this on my cherokee XJ so this review will be specific to that installation. I have an ARB Bull Bar on a 2001 XJ. I attached a picture to the amazon for review. Packaging: This product comes shipped in a box. the styrofoam must be cheap b/c some of it melted on the controller cable. There appears to be no dents or dings and things came well. The synthetic cable doesn’t come on the drum and is in it’s own plastic bag. It does come with a pull line for the winch itself which is not pictured but is pictured in what i’ve posted. It does come with all the hardware needed which is nice.

Superwinch 1510200 LP10000 Series Winch

Superwinch 1510200 LP10000 Series Winch Product Description LP10000 Winch, 10,000lbs/4546kg single line pull with roller fairlead, and 12 feet handheld remote

This review is from: Superwinch 1510200 LP10000 Series Winch
You can spend whatever amount you want on a winch from many different manufacturers. The choice comes down to: manufacturers quality reputation vs rated weight capacity vs price. Superwinch gets good reviews, and the price was very good so I decided to go with this winch. Installation was easy, and the power cables were long enough to reach my battery with about a foot to spare. Be aware that if your battery is on the drivers side firewall, and/or you need to route the cables in less than a straight run, you might be short on cable length. Other things you will need to install: 1/2″ split tubing and zip ties. I also needed a short jumper to go from the included circuit breaker to the positive battery terminal. The instructions show the circuit breaker bolted directly to the positive battery terminal, but this was not possible in my vehicle.

WARN 75000 Rugged Terrain RT25 2500-lb Winch

WARN 75000 Rugged Terrain RT25 2500-lb Winch Product Description Warn Industries RT25 Rugged Terrain 2500-pound Winch is designed to pull up to 2,500 pounds and is great for pulling a heavy load or recovering a stuck ATV. This winch features a patent-pending brake to hold you on steep inclines, a reliable all-metal 3-stage planetary gear train, an efficient electrical system that allows for longer pulls with minimal battery drain and a handlebar-mounted mini-rocker switch for great control.

This review is from: WARN 75000 Rugged Terrain RT25 2500-lb Winch
We purchased the RT25 and Warn mounting kit for a Yamaha Grizzly 700. The installation instructions for both the winch and mounting kit are Top 10 poor – they are difficult to follow, have few usable illustrations, and leave out key information. Particularly bad were the instructions for a key safety item for tying in the controller into the ATV power; the first instruction called for using a wiring sub-harness from Yamaha that does not exist.. That said, there is good information online – especially try this forum entry, which has photos of key steps and information: […]. I wish we had found this forum earlier; we could have saved an hour in which we puzzled through the same problems and, fortunately, reached the same answers. So why the four-star rating? This Warn winch – and all of its sister products – have stellar reputations and a great record of durability. PS. Purchase the mounting kit (which I had difficulty finding except through Amazon) as the RT25 does not mount directly to the Grizzly.

It was suppose to pull our honda goldwing up a ramp but it had to big of a bend in the garage door and kept getting hooked so we sent it back. Would of been a great idea…back to the drawing board

Seems to be well made. Does the job. We are lifting 2200 lbs. Only minor complaint is that the clutch was not adjusted right so the load slowly releases when turn off power. But there are instructions to fix that.

Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Anti Lock Brake System Diagnostic Scan Tool

Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Anti Lock Brake System Diagnostic Scan Tool Product Description Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) Diagnostic Scan Tool is designed to read and display the ABS trouble code and definitions. It is updateable online and its ABS code library is featured on tool. This scan tool retains most recent vehicle scans and provides coverage for OBD II domestic vehicles.

This review is from: Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) Diagnostic Scan Tool
I purchased this tester to scan domestic model cars such as GM, Ford and Chrysler. When I read the description of this tester it stated “Compatible with all domestic vehicles 1996 and newer”, however the very first car I tried to use it on was a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix and I was not able to read any information from the vehicle since it was not one of the choices available in the tools menu. The tool came with a vehicle coverage guide, so I looked through the guide and found that it listed the Grand Prix but only for the 2004-2005 model and not the 2001 which was the year I was working on. I believe the tool description should state that it compatible with “some” domestic vehicles 1996 and newer, not “all”.

This review is from: New Vortex 12000 LB Pound Recovery Winch Bonus Package! 2 remotes
I bought this winch a couple months ago to mount on a work truck. After installation found out the solenoid was bad. The supplier sent a new one promptly. After installing replacement solenoid the winch worked just fine. Have done a couple self recoveries in a loaded one ton and had no problems. Recently winched out a 14″ diameter tree off a slope, stump and all. That impressed me. Granted this tree had some root decay (armilaria fungi)never the less, it just about lifted the truck up off the ground…For the money, definitely satisfied and would likely buy another if needed. Will update after a year…

This review is from: WARN 685005 PullzAll 24V DC Cordless Electric Pulling Tool
I have not had an opportunity to fully test the lifting/pulling power of this winch, but I can report that the batteries do not retain a charge in storage, either in or out of the device. Upon receipt of the winch (with dead batteries) I charged both batteries for several hours, put one in the machine and tried it out briefly against arm strength. All the indicator lights came on to show a full charge. It is much more noisy than I expected, and the motor must run to pay out the cable, as well as to retrieve it. After charging, I put it in the trunk. Two weeks later, when moving it, I tried to test it again. Unfortunately, neither battery had enough energy remaining to power the winch for even a minute.
