Get Out Of Your Rut - Smittybilt XRC8 Winch

     There are a lot of features one could list to say what a quality winch the Smittybilt XRC8 is. The best thing is to demonstrate how well it works.  I love the part where Mom tells Son and Daughter to stand behind her as Dad's XRC8 sends chunks of tree stump flying towards the camera.

     Dad got out his Jeep Grand Cherokee out of the mud because the Smittybilt XRC8 has one of the biggest motors in its winch class, a 5.5.  In 2008 the Smittybilt XRC8 was voted best new product by Petersen's 4 Wheel  & Off-Road.
     Smittybilt's XRC8 also has the fastest line speed in its winch class.  Loaded it pulls ten feed per minute.   It has super-touch synthetic winch cable and there are waterproof options.
     When you buy the Smittybilt XRC8 you have everything you need to install the winch right in the box.  It comes complete with a solenoid box, illuminated remote control, a roller farley and a hook.  The solenoid box can be mounted over the cable or mounted over the motor.  The XRC8 also comes with twelve inches of extra line to relocate it inside the bumper or it could be located behind the grill.
     The Smittybilt XRC8 comes with a limited 2-year warranty.
