Good question, okan-star. I'm shopping for a good quality winch, too. There are lots of winch manufacturers out there like Warn, Ramsey, Mile Marker, Bulldog, Superwinch, and Smittybilt, just to name a few.

Yes but I think the are all made in China now ,not sure about Milemarker , don't think I want to hook one to my power steering pump really
Ive seen good reports from searching the Smittybilt , mostly in jeep and off road forums
They have larger motors than some and relatively fast line speeds
The X2O`s are submersible, not sure I need that
But would consider anyones opinion that has experience with them, valuable
Hope you get your crate full of bumper soon
