Default Smittybilt XRC8 winch
Saw it on sale and knew it was time to bite the bullet. No real problems with the install, other than tearing my arms up trying to get them inside the bumper to tighten down the bolts. Everything else was a breeze.

Love mine so far, and does a great job for $300. Ditto on the arm damage though trying to get it installed.

I have the same one, while inexpensive, it works very well. I've used it 4 times and each time it's been perfect.

First time used: Pulled a car out of the snow.
Second time used: Pulled a Ford F250 out of a ditch he dug with his spinning tires.
Third and fourth time used: Pulled a couple of trees out of my way. Got pics...
