Getting back on topic...
I just compared the parts lists for both the Warn XD9000 and the Tabor 9k. They share a lot of hard parts. The remote, solenoid, fairlead, gaskets, sungear, thrust bearing, and such are the exact same part #'s. The brake, carrier, and motor are different and I' sure those part and the warranty make up a large part in the price difference. The clutch lever from the XD series will swap directly over to the Tabor too(did that this morning). That knob would be a pain if you're wearing gloves or it's wet.
