It's just a stripped down Warn. If you like Warn winches, this is a chance to get one for less money than a new one. The motor is the older style (4hp I think), the engaging lever is gone (it's a cheap-o switch thingie, I didn't like it when I saw it), but everything else is pretty standard. Uses the older style solenoids (for better or worse), but for all intents and purposes it's a generic Warn.

BTW, they were never intended to be sold in the USA, so getting it serviced under warantee might be an issue, don't know for sure.

Ironically, I shot that photograph of that winch that's on eBay right now.

Magnum? I thought those were only for 'full size' trucks :-)

I wouldn't put that on my Suzuki Samurai.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm getting a new bumper that is designed for a RE 12000. Just thought I would try something else.
