Another thread on here got me to thinking about winches. I wondered what the rest of the offroad world does for a quality winch. That train of thought lead me to Australia (G'day mates!) and Winchworld Australia. https://winchworld.net/collections/recoverywinches
And that lead me to Sherpa and the Mustang. https://sherpa4x4.com/products/the-mustang-9-500lb-offroad-winch
Now that looks and sounds like a winch. Heavy duty motors, Albright sealed contactors, steel cut gears, brake in gear box, readily available repair parts, no extra charge for synthetic line and good reviews. The install kit looks complete and comprehensive. Lots of options like dual motors and 12 / 24 volt. Two different line capacities available. Assembled in Australia. The price for all this goodness? About $750 shipped to the US or Canada. Slightly more than a Warn M8000 with steel cable and less than a Warn with synthetic cable.
The Sherpa Mustang looks like good kit.
If you want to get your eyes to bug out, check out what a Warn costs in Australia. The exchange rate is about $0.79 US to $1 AUD right now.
