I know the fit topic comes up often, but this particular winch looks like a center spool to me. Anybody got one and how does it fit on a 2x4?

Not a bad price. From what I have read, its mostly the warn that 1500 that has a problem due to the location of the switch. The warn 2500 fits fine though. I didnt look at the pic that close but where is the switch on that one?

 

the gorilla mounting plate doesnt fit........they say it will but i had one and it didnt fit

ordered a warn and it fit great.

yes the little switch touchs the frame on my 1.5...the 2.5 is a little better

 

this is what i have and it fits perfect

ok. Now this has me thinking. Why are these so much cheaper than the Warn? Are they nowhere near the quality or are the Warns just overpriced? I see these on ebay for like 60 bucks and the warns are 329+. Does anyone have any experience with these winches and can share some info here?

 

i have had mine for about 7 months now and i have never had a problem with it. its waterproof, and i know it works underwater [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. so far its been really good!
