DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

At least you have gotten your moneys worth out of it..

Twice... on the same trail... at the same spot...

 

yeah that is the xrc version. not the x2o

 

Well then...

Anyone have a comparison on the differences between this one and the X20?

 

It’s what I bought/have/have used.

 

yeah i blame wheel base for that... Tried it dry and wet, same shit both times... winch out!

 

After talking to a rep at a show.... really it boils down to the waterproof rating....

• Both are capable of pulling out your truck
• X2O has better waterproof rating
• not sure that the xrc has wireless remote

 

Those are smitty yes?

 

correct

 

Giggity

Ah... waterproof rating would be good for East Texas storm season... aka whenever it freaking wants to rain....

 

Looking at all the choices now SMDH

 

Yup time to try it with a rear locker!

both will take on water if used while submerged, the x2o will just take on less than the xrc. The rep told me if i use it submerged then i need to take it apart and let it drain.

XRC may take on a small amount if it is submerged over an extended amount of time. Im sure the amount of water pressure also plays a big part, IE deep water, or going up river...

I also read a review where someone submerged their winch, it broke, they called smitty and they sent him a brand new winch.

 

Yea you do!!!

LETS GET IT DONE THEN! So you can conquer that trail without needing a winch assist!

I guess rain is not a huge issue when it comes to waterproof rating on winches, I would assume it would help... but it is more for fully submerging one...


Wonder if I can swing a winch before Jambo...

 

x20 is wireless or wired with supplied cable.(also needed for syncing it to the winch)
xrc is wired only.

I would have probably saved some $ and gone with the xrc if I had better access to my winch. My only access is through the hood and plugging in the remote is blind reaching down to the side of the control box.

 

Im pretty sure I want wired/wireless good to have the best of both worlds I say.

 

Wireless is pretty sweet

 

I know that I do like the price of smitty a hole hell of a lot better lol!!!

 

I had to re-spool my line at Jambo last year to make sure I was prepared to use it. It was nice spooling it from 20+ ft away talking with another guy about the truck. Wireless isnt really needed but I like not being tethered to the truck and worrying about the wire getting caught on anything during use.

 

My winch is high enough on my bumper that I hope to never submerge it.

@Zac of all trades There will be plenty of winches at Jambo. Only get one if you want it.

 

Id really like to go to jambo but I know my truck wont make it everywhere.

 

Just ride around with someone and drink/provide beer.
