ATV Winch's

The Superwinch from Cabella's Moose mentioned earlier is still a great deal. I suppose those Champion winches are good too. I see them at Walmart though its the smaller 1500 lb version for $70. If you can get a 3000lb one for $100, that sounds like a great deal. This might be the deal you're referring too here https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Powe...pion+atv+winch. Its actually slightly under $100. I don't the specific mounting kit listed but you probably can contact them to find one for that winch.

I had a viper winch on a Grizzly before. It lasted about a year and the gears stripped out. I might have just had a defective as I barely used it. I wouldn't consider it to be a quality product. This was about 8 years ago, perhaps their quality control is a little better now. If it says viper on it, you can bet I'm still not buying it.

Whatever you do, do not buy a Badland winch from Harbor freight. I burnt up 3 in a very short period of time (all under warranty). I ended up going to the Super winch 3000 which has never let me down. A lot of my friends have them on their SxS's also without any issues, and their customer service is great.

It's not a requirement to change to a fairlead. But there is a possibility that the rope will get caught between the rollers. It was cheap insurance and better peace of mind that I did.
