OFF ROAD BOAR 3000 Lb Winch, Electric Winch 12V with Steel Rope, Roller Fairlead, Waterproof IP67 ATV UTV Jeep Winches with Wireless Remote and Wired Control

The directions were not easy to follow, but fortunately the install was easy and fairly intuitive. This winch is very powerful and suits. My needs well. I bought a smaller, one, very similar different manufacturer, less powerful, and it took two years to burn it out under nearly constant daily use. I’m confident this one will serve me for years.

Solid winch. I threw this on my side by side and I like the setup. Easy mounting system and comes with everything you need. I wanted to test it out so I purposely got stuck in a rut. I wrapped the wire around a tree and it pulled me right out. Solid design and works well.

Works great on utv.

THIS IS A GREAT WINCH. STRONG, EASY, COLOR CODED WIRING. A BREEZE TO PUT TOGETHER. THE HARDEST PART WAS FABRICATING A WINCH HOLDER ONTO MY PICKUP BOX. GREAT WINCH FOR THE PRICE.

so, you will NOT get what is pictured... basically you get a ginormous control box with LITERALLY 12" leads to the winch (yes, color coded to the lugs) + rocker switch + remote (no holder for it to be mounted somewhere (like a Warn))+ mounting plate (far from universal) + nuts/bolt + fairlead (which will likely be a wrong size for you, so you might as well purchase one with a wider hole spacing, but maybe you will get lucky.)...so, I was mounting this (as a replacement) on 2001 Polaris Sportsman 500 6x6, after removing all the racks and plastics and disassembling/removing my old winch, I was ready to mount my new one (3000lbs, synthetic rope)... controller box has to be literally right next to the winch in order for wires to fit without modification (adding some additional 4ga wires); controller box is HUGE - I was lucky I had room under my 'hood'/top plastic but changing/cleaning a filter/screen in front of the radiator will require moving everything pertaining to a controller box out of the way. MOST units (including my 2020 Outlander 1000XT 6x6 will NOT have adequate wire length from the controller box to the winch. So, manufacturer should consider adding at least 14-18" to those two cables...INSTRUCTIONS.... seriously, why waste paper? despite listing my model number and same picture of the winch itself - there was NOTHING useful about it. LIKE 0 information. there is also an extra 'hot' wire coming from the thumb controller box which serves 'who knows what' purpose, because buttons are NOT lit. since it was red in color - I connected to power by putting a ring on it just my main battery lead... so, for POLARIS, rest of the wires were long enough to reach battery while properly routed, with that said, if I was to mount this on the CanAM Outlander 6x6 I would of ran out of both leads to the winch and leads to the battery... For some reason, wires from the thumb rocker are like 10ft long....Fairlead is cheap and will be a wrong size for most, so before you go out in the woods or your cabin (as I am) make sure you have an up size as far as bolt spacing... judging by the quality of metal/nuts on terminals (winch, as you will NOT get pictured boots and 4 wires that you will have to tie in(everything comes out out of a brick of the controller) - make sure you coat EVERYTHING exposed electrical with NO-OX...does it work, yes. did I try to pull logs or anything heavy with it yet - NO. junky directions and short wires are the reason for 3-starts.Updated review 1-Sept-2022: remote no longer talks to the winch, manual thumb control still works. Light comes on on a remote when activating and pressing in/out, however, nothing happens. When remote disassembled to change batteries (in case that was a problem) - no water/moisture damage observed. Getting a hold of Customer Service to see if they can help with a solution/fix. Dropping to 2-Stars for now.24-April-2023 update: customer service originally promised to send replacement Control box - nothing showed up. Contacted them again (Dec’22) - was told “sorry, resending controller box and a new remote…” - a month later - NOTHING. March ‘23 - got a hold of customer service- no record of me contacting em, and now I am out of warranty of any sorts - basically a “Thank you for giving us your money in exchange of our piece of garbage winch…”.Last time I gave em any of my $$

Seems to be a good winch. The fair lead that comes with it isn’t the standard 4 7/8” that fits 99% of the brackets out there. It only fits the universal bracket that comes with the winch. I ordered an extra one now. So add another $20 to your purchase. The solenoid box that comes with it is huge and not economical for a 4 wheeler with limited room. Probably ok for a side by side. Seems ok for the money but a couple things I’d change is the fair lead and the solenoid box!

The easy install process was completed on a tracer 450 ATV. It works great in the back woods.

I fabricated this winch onto my utility trailer. It has been amazing. It is powerful and wireless is awesome. The only problems I have had with it have been the power supply but that has nothing to do with the winch. I mounted a tractor battery to the trailer, and I find it dies quickly. Duh, I should have known that. The only thing I will say is that it is just a hair slower than what I hoped for. The winch I had before was a little faster, but thats ok. My wife keeps telling me to slow down in life.

Easy to install and works well
