Looking for a lightweight winch w/ synthetic rope to ease off the front end load. Smittybilt XRC8 Comp 8000lb vs Rugged Ridge 8500lb w/ sythetic. Both are priced around $500 and weight approximately 55-60lb. I'm not looking to do any hardcore offroading, just caouple fo trips /year to RC and forked river, no rock crawling of any sort, mostly mud/forest trails.

Anybody is running one of these?

I have this 1 and it has plenty of power

got it from here with free shipping
Smittybilt XRC 8 Comp Series Winch. Lowest Prices on Smittybilt XRC 8 Comp Series Winches.

Thanks for the great picture, do you keep your winch in all year round? Any winch servicing required at all (greasing, etc)?

Thanks again
