Review on πŸ‹οΈ 12000 lb. Load Capacity Smittybilt X2O Waterproof Steel Cable Winch – Enhanced for SEO by Kaveen Reyes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, short cable.

Like. Wireless is comfortable and I'm a big fan of synthetics. Throw in another fifty to hundred dollars for longer 4-gauge wire and spade lugs and crimping tools (weld wire is about $5 a foot most places, or you can get 10-foot wire + spade lugs for about $40 on Amazon) Unless you have a battery installed in your front bumper. The 6 foot wires that come with the kit won't reach the battery, which is near the back of the engine bay, unless you have room right in the grille to route the wire through. Because this winch is larger, it's safe to assume that most people will buy it for 1500 series and up trucks or large SUVs, not smaller SUVs. So a bigger car + more powerful motors also increases the distance between the winch and the battery and in newer cars it's difficult to get the cables through the grille, you have to go down/under/around/up to get to the battery . food for thought.
