Any one have any opinions about Engo winches? Good? Bad? Cheapest place to get one?
 
Crawl offroad is where I got mine man and I love it!! I have the E10000s it's been great.
 
Does the "s" only mean synthetic line?
 
Below you'll see my experience so far, very mixed. I can speak highly of their desire to stand behind their product but really can't say anything good yet about their product. I've even spoken to the owner of Engo who answered their phone one day on my first call to them. Joel who I spoke to on the second call is mentioned on multiple boards. Seems if you have problems you'll get someone that knows the product and industry. As far as price call jeep ad ons and ask for Chris extension 1884. He always gets me the best price regardless what the product. Nice guy to boot.

So rethinking engo based on a few reviews I read on line. Anyone have experience with the Warn VR series?
 
Yea s is for the line.
 
We'll see when I get mine but what bad I have read about engo came from improperly assembled units. Really haven't heard anybody having issues with a correctly assembled ones. Most common ailment is the Chinese builders clock them funny and they pretty much are doa or shortly after. Good luck with whatever you buy. My second choice was getting a used warn and rebuilding.
 
I have had good luck out of my smitty built...
 
I have a shitty built but it needs solinoids replaced.
 
Well I just pulled the trigger on a Smittybuilt XRC12, I know Engo has good customer service, but I have heard too many of them breaking, and/or not working right out of the box. Hopefully I made the right choice, we shall see.
 
My XRC is a solenoid murdering turd... Need to replace it... again.
