It looks like the same picture....am I missing something?

That Pic is from the Warn site, this guy on E-bay photoshoped the pic to remove "warn" from the strap. Then makes ref. to Warn and how Gorilla is the same thing. If you read his warranty what exactly does it cover LOL!

Theres guys that will buy that winch saying "I can buy 3 of these and still be ahead as far as money goes" But wouldn't there always be that question in the back of your mind...when is this thing going to give out? Personally I rather install a winch and be done with it, also knowing that Warn stands behind what they sell. My friend has one of the cheaper winches and the cable has already chewed its way into the drum not to mention the noises it makes under load. It has hardly been used and you can tell its not going much further.

Say BC you seem to have a friend at Warn Corp. Send him this and see what He says... Or not. Copy Right?

I'm with you....when I'm stuck...I want the winch to pull me out NOW....without having to cross my fingers. And when I need my buddy...I want his to work too.

Friend? No MrBill..Just this viewtopic.php?t=577

I haven't dealt with many companies like Warn. About the copyright I have no idea I just think thats cheap on that guys part to use someone else's material to sell his shit.

It's totally pathetic....and...frankly a lie. Since that's a Warn winch in the freaking photo.


And I agree..Warn is frankly, a fantastic company. My cousin had a Warn winch on his old Bronco. The pistol grip connector for his winch....busted. It was old....and he was lazy to get it fixed. Well...on a Jeep run on the Rubicon, there's a guy from Warn there....and he and my cousin are bullshitting...and he mentions the winch trigger. The guy says...let me check it out.....he looks at it...and says it needs to be replaced and asks for my cousin's address.

Few weeks later...a brand new trigger arrives from Warn....Free of charge.

Just one pistol trigger.....and neither I, nor my cousin...will buy anything but a Warn winch. If that wasn't good business....then I don't know what is.

Warn is a great company thats why we here at Montana Jacks sell nothing but, now. We started off carrying "other" brands but the return rate for failures was so high we stopped soon after. We are 1 of only 12 USA Distributors for Warn ATV products and we consistently find them to be honest and service orientated to helping their customer BEFORE & AFTER the sale! I have used their 2.5 & 3.0 ci & ce versions of winches for 6 years heavily (everything in Montana is straight up) and we ride 3000 to 5000 miles a year here, I WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT A WARN WINCH. When you go to buy one, get one from a REAL Warn Distributor (call them and ask) At least they will be their next year if you have any problems, unlike some backyard garage ebay setup. also you can't beat the 3.0 ci/CE version factory brake installed. do yourself a favor get one of them. be careful that some "outfits" advertise them as 3.0CE but thier not. check the part # should be WRN-62701. Not 62700

[Mr. Miyagi]

Excellent bit of information.... Thanks.

That's really good information...i didn't know.


BTW....your new Sealed wire junction connector is sweet. OG Larry just replaced his from MJ's....I have to get one before my old connection box rusts.

Well I ordered this gorilla winch and just received it . It looks EXACTLY like the warn winch and all the specs are almost exact. It is made in china.This is a just in case type of winch for me. I ride on my own property (150 acres w/ about 5 mi of logging trails) I do have a JD4300 4X4 tractor, if this winch does prove to be a POS. So it just might be $100 mistake.The winch does look super duty and did come with everything as advertised. For my purposes I just can't see spending $400 for a WARN. Time will tell, and I will let you know.Thanx for all the replies,ERIK

Best of luck.

Made In China...The Undoing of North America...

Funny...

My daughter Monica was around 3 years old....when we heard " OH! NO!" in the back of the car. My wife said, "what's the matter?"

Monica (at 3) said..."This toy is made in China...They're ALL made in China."
