Rusty's has these for $399.00. Pretty decent price for an 8500# winch. Do any of you guys have one of these yet?

I guess it depends but yea Rustys rapes on shipping. I'm thinking about picking one up only 399!? I just need to buy one of the weld up kits and make a bumper. :p
 
got mine! its attached to the backbone
$399 in my lap
 
Got mine too, and I'm putting it on this next week.

Any more thoughts out there on this winch? I'm looking at getting one mounted up to the rigidco bumper I just ordered...

I'm looking for cheap, reliable, prefferibly a hawse fairlead, and a decent warranty.

That is a good looking bumper, I couldn't afford losing the approach angle though, My canadian tire superwinch it still going strong, beats the hell outta the champion pos I had on it.
 
So no word on the winch really?
Anyone have comparison thought on it and the Warn m8000?

WTF dude?
Those are two different bumpers.:dunno:
 
I will be at Rustys in person this weekend if anyone wants me to pick anything up.

Play with the LP8500, and give me your impressions.

I just got a Smittybilt XRC8 8000# from 4wheel drive hardware. $350. An extra $40 will get you a lifetime warranty even covering the cable! Where can you go wrong?
