Tabor line to be discontinued

[R_Lefebvre]

I just heard from somebody in the know, that Warn will be or already has discontinued the Tabor line. All that's left is what's on the shelves right now.

Just thought to let y'all know since some here like them because of they're good value.

does that make mine collectable

Good riddance, never liked mine crapped out too many times to mention, wish I'd gone superwinch to begin with.

 

[derrickalda]

they'll come out with something else or just market the crap out of their 8000

It was a POS anyway. Who cares.

Thats bad news for us. We have had great luck with that tabors. I have a call in to see what is up.

Yup. I remember being very non-impressed (un-impressed???) with the prototypes when I shot them initially for Warn way back in the day. Was surprised they even went into production with them at all.

I'm not. For many it's part of the image, having a winch. I've lost count of the winches I've seen on the front of vehicles that obviously have never been used. Sorta like the huge tires, lift kits and lights on rigs that are never taken off-road. There's always a market for bling.

The Warn 8K can be had for around $550. How much cheaper can you get? Maybe Warn or MM will come out with a "Hello Kitty" version next that comes with a matching backpack.

I am getting the "High School Musical" version, was torn between that and the "Hannah Montana" one

I heard through the grape vine that you paid for that winch with food stamps. Sad to see people like yourself have to resort to such means.
Your parents must be very disappointed, not to mention your wife.

Here in Middleburg they hand out Warn 12Ks like candy.

The Jeep Wrangler crowd will mourn.

Oh god I didn't even think of the mass depression that it would spark in that crowd..

It's funny that Warn pulls out of the "entry level" winch market just as it starts to get interesting. Smittybilt has their 8000# ($299) and now the 10,000# ($499) winches. Superwinch just released a 8500# for $399.

I was very tempted to purchase the Superwinch yesterday. I have a gift card for the local "Man Mall" (Fleet Farm to the midwestern folks). It would only cost me about $100 out of pocket for a winch.

But I'll probably hold out a little longer. The Warn M8000 is down to $519 (including shipping) from Winchdept.com

It is true the tabor is getting the ax. I would buy that 8000m now.I dont know how there are selling it cheeper then the 80ft model.
