Smittybilt XRC 12000 lb. Gen2 winch

Any opinions on this winch? Seems to have a great warranty, is IP67 rated, nice spec sheet.

I started to go with a HF Badlands, but this seems like a much better deal.

I'd go with the HF 12K in a New York minute honestly. A lot of guys at work and a few buddies of mine have had great luck with them. And for $300 it's a no brainer to me.

My HF 12K I picked up 6 years ago when they were on sale for $249. Great winch...never let me down. I have used in tons of situations and still going. My only complaint is the slow pulling speed...but for that price, I can't complain.
