Totally agree! I've seen $1000+ Warns fail, but have not seen an Engo fail. My buddy had a $1400 Warn Cti and it failed year one. I think it worked out to a cost of $350/pull....

just to stretch my back out. It works great. However there is something wrong with the wireless controller it only works the first time you press the in and out switch. Then you have to connect it. Gonna call smitty bilt about it today and see what's up
