Anybody ever heard of or used this winch?

[RazorbackH3]

I found an Engo E9000S winch for a good price and was wondering your guys thoughts... (Looked on a Jeep forum and they all like it), It's got synthetic rope as well as free spool, also comes with a lifetime mechanical warranty as well as a 1 year electrical warranty. Has a Hawes fairlead too...

Here's the link:

Sorry I bug you guys about this all the time, (Atleast I've got the battery fiasko squared away. :wink just want to make sure that I've got all my bases covered. Thanks guys.

I've heard good things....know a couple guys with them...but no first hand experience. If not for that monster deal at 4WP a couple weeks ago...I would have bought an Engo.

Not a huge fan of Smittybilt but the deal was too good to pass.

I have an engo. Made by the guy who used to run mile marker. The price on them versus a warn is too good to pass up. There's a performance review out there somewhere and engo beat out a lot of other high end winches.

Granted mine is still in the box and not on the truck but that's beside the point haha

Do they make a 12k?

Yeah I think I remember Bigunit or someone on here recommending that I check them out..., Which Smitty did you get? Cause I've also got my eyes on a Gen 2 XRC9.5 for a good price. Honestly I'm not too worried about super high end expensive (I know the saying, you get what you pay for)(Would definitely get a Warn Powerplant if I had the money...) I just would like something that I can use when I'm out solo wheeling this next summer if I stupidly put myself in a bad position and to be able to use during the winter time if my family, especially my mom's JK Wrangler, gets stuck. :giggle:

I belive so. I have a 10000 lbs synthetic line. which was somewhere under 500 dollars.

I've never been sure on what size winch i'd want, have you ever put the 10k to use?

 

[cgalpha08]

It's still in the box so no. But rule of thumb is 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle. So 6000lbs ish x 1.5 is 9000lbs so a 9500 is a good number. I got a 10000 because of extra goodies I have on the vehicle and I like overkill

I was gonna say they look suspiciously like a MileMarker electric winch.

I've heard good things about engo.

That's a really good deal. I am set to buy the Warn but now after reviewing your link I might go with Engo. But what about the Mount? Have you decided where to mount it?

All of my winches 10-12k, ran MM for couple of years before, then sold it to one of the guys and it developed an electrical issue in control box.
All other winches ~5 of them are Warn (some VR line ( cheap line)), so far newer had any problems.
