My Warn VR10-S winch has failed me so I replaced it with a budget winch - the Openroad 4WD Panther Series2 13,000lb winch with synthetic rope. So far I am impressed with this winch and got to test it out on a recent trip to an off road park.

I purchased the 13000lbs Openroad Panther for my JK. I have never needed it for myself (yet) but have pulled some heavy rigs with it. It works amazingly for the cost, and I definitely do recommend this winch.

Honest video, love it. The number one reason winches go bad is because they are overworked. Do not expect a single line pull to always do the job. If the winch slows down to almost a crawl it's not going to last long. Keep up the videos!

Just ordered the 13k Panther 2 for my Bronco using your code. They were already running an $80 off deal for this model on their site because the Panther 2 PLUS is out. I added your code and I ended up with $160 off. It is always a good day when you save that much cash. I was going to get the 9500, but the 13k was a better price than the 9500.

I bought one of these budget winches to try out over a year ago, mainly because I knew I wouldn't be using it that much. It's literally almost the same as yours, just under a different name. I was honestly surprised at the pulling power it had for a budget winch. Last year I was winching a supercab F250 with flat tires onto my brother's equipment trailer that was hooked up to his crewcab F250. At one point the truck got stuck on the ramps and it started pulling all 3 trucks and trailer towards each other at the same time. Now I know with the snatch block I had hooked up, it doubles your load capacity and we weren't off road, but I was still surprised how easily it was pulling nearly 24,000lbs of trucks and trailer and didn't over heat and crap out on us. Figured I'll just rock it till it fails and then step up from there. The one thing I didn't care for was the hook, which I see you didn't use as well.

I have a 2005 LJ. My winch sits on top of my bumper. I used to envy the way the front bumpers on the newer jeeps allow the winches to be recessed down into the bumpers. I never really thought about submerging a winch under water may cause it to fail. I rarely go through water above my front bumper so I’m now liking my high-sitting winch location. Lol

I also had a WARN fail on my Comanche while on Holy Cross. It was a month old and had three pulls on it. One was to spool the line. It was a VR Series. The warranty policy with WARN is terrible. Was told I would have to remove the winch and take it to Colorado Springs where they would "evaluate" it to see if was coverable. COVERABLE?!!! It was a month old! A manager at 4WP took it back because it was only a month old and replaced it with another. I think he wrote it off honestly. He saved a customer that day. However-I am done with WARN. Never, ever again. PS-WARN, if you read this. I have had 7 Jeeps, one K5 Blazer and am now building a light off-road duty Land Rover. To quote Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. "BIG MISTAKE! HUGE!"

WARN are NOT the #1 Winch. They are very good, but sometimes the don't even claim the #3 spot when tested against other winches. It's true that they have the most recognizable name in the U.S. Some people confuse "popular" with "the best.". And once again, they do make very good winches.

Been running the Smittybilt XRC 12000 for about 3 years and haven't been nice to it. Under water, caked in mud and the only problem that I've had has been how the cable is bolted to the side of the drum. The cable shears it off. My question is where and how is the rope attached to the drum? And yes I'm moving it to another rig and converting it to synthetic. And on my overlanding build I'm going to have front and rear winches. Was going to try a badland on one and now the open road on the other. I'm a volunteer firefighter and mechanic and in my area the gumbo is nasty. I've pulled out everything from tractors ànd small fire trucks to civics. And finding a winch right for our new old square box brush truck that fits the Budget of a very small town department is what we're looking for. Thanks for the heads up.

I tell you the most frustrating thing right now about having a Cherokee Trailhawk is the lack of industry support. It's not the vehicles capability - the vehicle is very capable. It's the fact that there's only one winch I can use and the custom bumper for it and the winch is like 2,000 bucks. My best option honestly for a strong winch is just to get a winch cradle and hook it in my trailer hitch... It gets better... There's also no solution for a front trailer hitch... So I can't even cradle mount a winch in the front on a trailer hitch... It's just crazy.... The only winch I can use from what I've read is a warn 8000s. The installation is super difficult... I would pay somebody to do it... You have to remove the dang whole front end of the vehicle to install it... It's absolutely insane... Your winch install is a thousand times easier.

The warn now says it is IP68 rated so hopefully that is now better than before.

I can't remember what the name of the winch manufacturer that was the top of the line before Warn got bigger one was Ramsey I can't remember the other. They not only build the little winches for pickups/jeeps they make industrial winches for heavy equipment like tow trucks, cranes and bull dozers. Hope your new winch works for you. Some of that Chinese stuff is just as good as the name brand stuff. I think poor quality control gives them a bad rap.

In my opinion if a winch cant be used in or underwater it's useless.

So you think submerging your new offbrand winch will go better? Hot news chief, being submerged in water is bad for everything

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures i do actually. You think you're going to leave the new one submerged a bunch and it's going to be good as new? Sometimes you need to do maintenance when you submerge equipment in muddy ass water over and over again. If your Warn didn't hold up some harbor freight won't either at the same hard usage.

@@saintarmstrong8790 I don't plan on just leaving my Jeep submerged. That would be stupid. This winch is more water tight than the Warn I had therefore should survive better if I do happen to find myself stuck in a deep mud hole again. And yes, I know how to take a winch apart, clean it, re-grease it and put it back together. I did that with my Warn. Thanks for your concern and snarky comments. Sheesh!

So you're willing to buy another winch but paying to ship the warn back for warranty work was ridiculous? Comical.....

You obviously failed to listen to two key things in the video - 1) they gave this to me to test. 2) I have a trip to Moab coming up in less than 2 weeks and can’t be without a working winch for that trip.

Warn is NOT a top brand if you are talking quality. They are now made in China, as are most winches.

WARN makes some decent winches. Popular and well-known brand. They don't always come out on top though. Sometimes warn comes in third to fourth place or so. That doesn't mean they're bad winches. But they're not always the best
