Hi guys.
I`m long due for finish my winch set up on my RRp38. In my search for a durable electric winch I`m now at two options.
1. Warn Zeon 10s its Warn latest line of winches with syntetic rope. no doubt a good winch, but it`s realy pricey over here
2. Smittybilt X20 comp second gen. ( to be released in may 2014 ). Cost less, but all the technical data is superior to the Warn Zeon.

So down to my quastions: I have search and read some old threads about this issue, and remember I read that Smittybilt is stated as an "china winch", is that right?, because I got the impression that Smittybilt is an old American firm going back to 50`s.
Anyway, this latest issue of the Smittybilt X20 comp 10K. winch has, as you can see in the Link above, a 6.6 Hp motor, is submercibel with an Ip68 rating, faster winch speed than the Warn, and is actual superior to the Warn in all the technical datas, and comes with an Lifetime Warranty and will be less pricey to get a hold on for me over here than the Warn Zeon 10s. But is the Smittybilt - **** quality -
We know that Warn is normaly good quality
But even the Smittybilt X20 comp 10K that is availible today with the 5.5 hp motor outruns the Warn ( according to the technical data sheet) comes to winch speed under load.
I think the threads I been reading before is so old that this X20 comp and the Zeon 10s winches wasn`t availible back then
Anyone? give some input.
