    That is what I'm trying next. I'm no longer sold on Warn being the end all as I've rebuilt 2 due to failure. Warn does have great parts support though, I could be shooting myself in the foot for parts.

    I have the Tigershark 9.5. It's worked great whenever I've needed it. Only hiccup was on Rim Rocker trail when we moved a boulder, of which the issue was due to @3378jakesr5 wiring :p.

    The VR is the cheap series so no. My most recent rebuild was of a 9500xp.

    It'd kill me to spend that on a winch to have it go out.
