Hey Kipes, No matter if its junk or not, or if it breaks 10 years donw the road. Sportsmansguide's return/warranty policy is like no other!

Ive done ALOT of business with them.....

Tore the sole off a 1 yr old pair of merrell gor-tex shoes..... Called them up, they sent me a return shipping label and I had my new pair before I sent the old ones back.
I asked if that was merrell's policy or theirs for taking them back after they've been used for almost a year and they said it was their policy.

I have been reimbersed a couple time for products that it was my fault I ruined them and they were more than happy to help me out.

I love sportsmansguide, they're a great company to do business with for sure!

I know h22 Im a buyers club member there and do lots of business with them. The winch motor itself seems pretty beefy but the wiring part is kinda sketch. And yeah tank I didnt want to rush into this project lol. I will dig this out again and post back after he gets a chance to use it, snow banks are a little to high yet to be driving around.

Well the winch motor itself is descent but it must be the wireless remote that kills the battery if you leave the quad sit for awhile without using it. I think Im going to buy a contactor switch setup from viper, there only about $45. My buddy bought the same winch and has used it quite a few times now and it does the job.
