Champion Winches
Just lookin' for some feedback on the 8000lb Champion winch...anyone own one
of these??
I jus picked one up at Costco for $399. Cnd... comes with mounting plate,
winch, roller fairlead, 100ft cable, hook and ****** block...I figured it
would be fine for self recovery...I don't think it's the type of winch that
I'll sit at the top of a hill pulling up 10 Jeeps with...
TIA

Re: Champion Winches
Wow!
I have no clue on the quality, but the mount plate, roller fairlead and
****** block cost about what you paid just by themselves and you got a
winch to boot....
Do you know if they sell just the ****** block by itself?

Re: Champion Winches
Doubtless Chinese made, but maybe a good deal if it gets you unstuck a
few dozen times before it burns up. Did you get it at Bayer's Lake? How
many were left on the shelf? They had 8Klb Chinese winches over at
Princess Auto for about the same price, but not including the plate and
fair lead.
Please post a scan or pic of the specs page from the manual.
