    So a member of ours from south Florida is at the Orlando truck fest about to buy a winch he is torn between the warn M8000 or the warn VR8000. Which one should he get??? Thanks everyone. I have no input on these thus why I am creating this and I am trying to get him some input while he is still at the truck fest.

    Wow, TW has let me down this time. Never mind now though, he already decided. Sure would have been nice to get some input on this one though.

    Personally I bought a super winch LP10000, but that's cause I'm not a baller an can't afford the warns. And I got my super winch for $300 brand new! Couldn't pass that up.
