🏋️ 12000 lb. Load Capacity Smittybilt X2O Waterproof Steel Cable Winch – Enhanced for SEO Review

Mounted with concealed terrain mount for F150. Fits well. Not heavy, maybe 40 pounds. Just dragged the jeep through a lot to tighten the rope, but no effort. The instructions were fine except that they should 'recommend' a position for the control box. Guards are also a mystery to us plastic rope beginners, so a little help here would be appreciated. Remote works connected or wireless. In the factory battery. The rope installation is easy. Wiring is so easy a Chevy guy could do it.

Below is my email to SmittyBealt. For those who are interested, I am writing to you today regarding my sincere dislike for what is unconditionally driving up the prices of spare parts. bought a 10k lbs x20 winch with a wireless remote control. At first I was very happy with the product. I lost the remote on my first day on the trail. All my fault. I asked for a replacement and was shocked that the remote was literally half the price ($250) of the winch itself. I know I could get a regular…

Update #2 so back to 1 🌟 Wireless remote control switch has mysteriously fallen out. only found out when i was in a very dangerous situation where i needed my winch and it wasn't there. Also, the button on the remote launches DeLam and Chip away. I've used this winch three times in the last six months and it's already falling apart. LameOoooo is very happy about this product. The first thing that caught my eye was the huge "Made in China" sticker on the bottom of the device. When assembling…

This is a 'good' winch and reasonable for $$ but nowhere near 'waterproof' as the description says. I've had it for a year now and yesterday when I needed it most it stopped working. I was able to click the solenoids here, but I didn't move the winch. There was voltage on the wires so I knew the solenoids were working properly. Engine removed and disassembled - you can see that there is water in it. This is not at all surprising as there are no actual seals to retain water - not around the end…

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…

I've been using this winch for 3 months now, pulled it at least once every weekend. Excellent wind. I have this on the 2015 Unlimited Rubicon and it has never let me/us down. Mostly I drive every weekend, usually there are at least 5 jeeps in our group and we use this winch for towing all the time. I can't give 5 stars for two reasons. 1) The hook on the fishing line is not detachable. This was a problem for me as I use Prolink instead. I had to use a cutting wheel to remove the hook. 2)…

I bought this winch in August, popped it into the mid-width LOD bumper on my JKU and gave it a ride. Personally I didn't have to use it to get free, mainly because I don't particularly like having the axle deep in the mud with the doors open, but that's just my opinion. I used it to free some friends and it did an excellent job. In total I have used this winch probably 5 times with a weight of more than 2 tons (not counting the resistance of the circumstances) and it has worked perfectly every…

Great winch. No need to break the bank with name recognition. Installed on a Wrangler JKU 08 and great. Build quality is excellent, installation is very easy, and wireless capability is a must. There are 2 criticisms that initially prevented it from getting 5 stars. One is picky about wireless range. The manual states a maximum distance of 50 meters, even after replacing a new quality battery, the maximum line of sight is only 50-60 feet. Not a showstopper by any means, but as the manual states
