WARN vr8 $375

I have some Warn vr8 winches on special. they've moved to the Evo model now, so these are on clearance. steel cable.

$375 shipped in the US plus CA tax if applicable.

If you want synthetic rope, I have my rope and fairlead combo for $175 shipped.

 

Is a VR8 sufficient for a 1st gen with armor?...

Never owned a winch.

 

Rule of thumb is at least 1.5x your curb weight.

 

I'm at 4,500lbs if I'm estimating correctly with my 32's, rear bumper, sliders, and adding in my RTT and bed rack (which I don't always have).

That and at $375...it's cheap but sounds too good to be true.

Is the VR8 their lower end?

 

yeah should be Ok, if you got into something hairy and need more pulling power, a snatch block can be helpful as well.

VR series is their lower end model, they retailed for about $500. I ran one on my race truck for years with no issues

 

I also have this in a 10K for $475, available for pickup in Folsom if you feel like making the drive.

 

@Kwikvette would help for your trip to Moab.

 

I wouldn't go any lower, but a winch is better than no winch. Especially of you go alone.

just because it’s the low end model doesn't meant it’s not good. I've had a gen 1 smithbuilt and now another and they are good.

 

Are you able to ship to Canada?

 

i can but i dont even want to imagine what it would cost!

 

Haha, very true. Just say the winch identifies that it weighs 5 lbs.

 

hahahahaha, it identifies as a postcard lol

 

I'm out of the vr10, only vr8 is available now

 

I don't think I can get it to Hawaii for that price but pm me your zip and I'll see what I can do. thanks

 

The VR8 is the "lower" model, but I've had it (VR8S, synthetic line) for almost 2 yrs with no problems (knocks on wood).
It's hauled my DCSB loaded with tools towing a double axle snowmobile trailer loaded with engineered wood siding up a ski area service road (slick mud). I have every reason to trust this winch. I've had multiple back-to-back full spool pulls with no issues. But i also have a snatch block and extra shackles in my recovery kit, just in case I need more than the 8k lbs.
Edit: mounted in a US Offroad Stealth bumper.

 

What brand is the synthetic rope? Is it the Warn Spydura? 3/8" x 100'?

 

Its my rope, not Warn. Uhmwpe (dyneema). Rope by itself is $150 shipped, these winches have the hawse fairlead already, so you can run it with the rope if you don't run the steel through it first

 

Hey, send me a pm if you still have the vr8 available. Thanks!

 

Do you still have some of these?
