Okay I have decided against the Champion Winch. I am ready to buy...cannot decide between the Warn M8000 and the Smittybilt XRC-8 Comp Series. Both are similarly priced, 8000 lb pull capacity so on. However the Smittybilt comes with synthetic line and well the Warn Winch is a Warn Winch so I am in the middle. Need some final help before ordering.
Thanks again for the help!!!

But the Warn. Run the steel line.

Then when the steel line is starting to get beat up, buy some synthetic.

It'll cost you $300 to upgrade from steel to synthetic. It'll cost you at least $600 to upgrade to a Warn.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I'd choose a used Warn over any other new winch.
