I have a mile marker sec8 scout...and the RR XHD bumper. It wasn't too hard to install. A couple of the bolts are hard to get to and required a box wrench instead of sockets. But overall not bad.

Mine is ok. Noisy and slow but works ok. I currently can't get it to go into free spool. It is stuck. Needs oiled. I have had it through some rough times though. Since it is a cheaper model you should do your best to keep it oiled and clean. Had I done so I would probably not have any issues. I am not a fan of covers but if you are just using them when wheeling I think they are ok.

Just curious if there is any parts list with the new winch paperwork? Some guys on another thread as searching for new contactors and a google search isn't pulling anything up.
