MM winch

[neagtea]

Has any one had any luck with the Mile Marker electric winches? They are a great price but are they a P.O.S.? I have always used ramsey but on my other jeep I was wondering about going with the Mile marker.
Thanks

I would rather have no winch at all, than have any other winch than a Warn.

Haven't used it yet but I just bought the e9000 mostly because of price plus it came with 4wheel parts' extreme warrenty...They said if I break it they'll replace it for free for life :greg:

I ran the 8k for a long time, it did run well, but was the slowest MF I have ever seen.

did you get this in writing? check out this report on Bad Business Bureau.com talk is cheap to get a sale, the willingness to back it up is where it will show.

Can't get a warranty on a winch if you are lying at the bottom of a canyon, wishing you would have got the Warn.

I know a couple guys running them. They are slow, but seem to work. I am thinking of building a rear winch bumper and sticking one of those cheapies in there.

Can't make it to the bottom of the canyon if you spent all yer money on a Warn..........





Wait.......... I love me Warn Winch............

 

[bryson]

There is a reason they are cheap..... :sick:

 

[Caleb]

If you want something cheaper, I would look into the Magnums...they are made by Warn but sold under a different name. I still will run nothing other than a Warn

 

[Tacoma]

.......which brings us to another question: anyone know anything about those Magnums? heheheh I saw those the other day, and they look ok on pap...uh, screen.

The Pierce winches you see on tow trucks are damn cheap too....???

If Memory serves me right. "George" Investigated and said MM, Ramsey and Harbor Freight winches where the same? something like that???

Can't say from the inside but outside the Ramsey and Harbor Freight are 100% identical. I got the Harbor Freight and man is it slow......but it works until I can get a Warn.

Yeah, we were talking about that this past Saturday. He said the only differences were the prices.

We found out that George's winch is good for fixing Xterra Nerf bars, hehe:

thanks for all the good info. Although other than being a little slow I have had great luck with ramseys. I have seen a lot of warn motors toast over the last 28 or so years. (Ouch I am old). I was considering the MM for my DD CJ8 it probably won't get used too often. I am sticking with the ramsey for my trail jeep.

My MM does what it is meant to do and that's all that matters to me. It pulls when I want it to pull. It is slow but it get's the job done.

As far as I know, the MM electric 8k and 9k winches are the same as the HF winches. But the MM electric 12k is made by Tmax. The 12k is a far better winch than the 8k or 9k, but all are built in China.

If you honestly will only need a winch on rare occasions, it's hard to argue with a low price.
