Warrior Winches?
 

Warrior Winches |

anyone had any hands on experience with them?

Good price. And wireless remote. no haggle lifetime warranty.

but not sure since I have never heard of them.

If that's true, there's nothing to fear. BUT, how do you know it's "no-haggle"? There's the caveat!

i dont think they are good prices. this is a good price for an exact smittybilt with free shipping Amazon.com: Superwinch 1585202 LP8500 Series Winch: Automotive

Sold by AB...
Land Rover - Parts, Accessories and Information

$500 plus how much is shipping 80 lbs going to cost?
you might as well get a warn off amazon. $539 free shipping
Amazon.com: WARN 26502 M8000 8000-lb Winch: Automotive

I bought mine here:

Warn Part No. 26502 - M8000 Self-Recovery Winches

Plus, if you search the web you can find a coupon for 10% off or more. I think I found a $55 coupon. Less than $500 shipped.

I still haven't installed it yet, waiting on fog-lights for my bumper, so I cannot recommend that winch yet, but I was impressed with the price and shipping of the retailer.

Yeah, I was more curious than anything else. They are known as 'Champion' winches in Europe... Very popular top-end brand... They changed the name to 'Warrior' for North America, as there is a lesser/cheap brand under the Champion name in the states.

$499.95 is not a bad price for a 9500lb though, water proof and wireless. That's a lot cheaper than Warn's 9500.

I have just never used or seen them.
:(

I say go for it. I've known lots of people that have bought winches that weren't one of the name brands, and I've never heard any complaints..... I think a cheap winch is better than no winch. I know someone that has a champion winch from sams club, and he loves it. The only reason I bought the warn m8000 is that it was the cheapest of the winches that was a sure fit for my bumper. I don't plan on using it all the time... if I did, I would have bought something in the 9500 or 10000 lbs range, probably an "off brand" :)

As an aside.....


Warrior Winches (or Champion Winches as they're known in the UK) have been used by the British Armed Forces in combat for years. Certainly a testament to their durability and reliability.

That's good to know. Can you get parts to repair them too?
