Engo 10 000 winch w synthetic line.... they're working on a new cover..... He suggests not using one but rather spray and protect your winch once in a while with a lubricant.

Just installed my Engo 10k synthetic with premium finish today. Initial impressions: I really like this winch (I've never owned a winch before so nothing to compare to). To clarify a few things posted elsewhere: The solenoid cover has a recessed grooved lip with a rubber gasket to keep water out, looks like it should work as designed. I had to keep the solenoid to the left side of the winch so that the cables would reach the motor of the winch, still looks good but would have been nice if the wires were an inch or so longer. The engagement handle is solid, sometimes you have to pull the rope for a few inches to change the engagement. Cables to the battery were long enough with the negative battery cable a little more generous than the positive cable. My solenoid sits pretty close to the grill, the wires fit, but are pretty tight against the grill, I plan on extending the box out another inch or two away from the grill, easy mod, and that will take care of the problem. Bought mine through Chris/Jeepaddons.com. Great knowledgeable guy, great price and great customer service, I highly recommend them/him.

10k wire
I have a new Engo 10k wire. Good looking winch but as stated above, the lines to the selenoid could be about an 1" or so longer to center the box above the cable... but that's just a looks thing and won't affect performance.
I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it did great on the review most of us have already seen. I did check all the fasteners (read about a guy that found a couple loose ones) and most were good but its worth a few minutes to make sure.
For the money, you can't go wrong... and the 10k has a carbon fiber looking treatment!

next, put it in the rear
Ok so that title might make you think I'm talking about something else... wenches not winches perhaps, but that is not the case.
To go along with my 10k wire rope front Engo, I'm adding a rear wire rope WIRELESS Engo to a custom rear bumper that is currently in powder coating. So far I really like the Engo. The "carbon fiber" sticker on the front has faded with sun. I'll post a pic or 2 once I get it mocked up.
Sorry I didn't reply with a pic all those months ago. I didn't check the thread again. now i'm subscribed so I'll see any notes/requests.
