I have come across a Champion 8000lb winch for $175 at my local Costco:yikes: No that is not a typo. They were selling them for $299 and just closing them out now. I have read that Champion may be the same manufacturer as the MileMarker and possibly Chicago Electric and they have been selling these through Costco in Canada for a few years. The other brands are still selling from $300-$450. At $175, I am thinking I am crazy to pass this up. Costco is even selling the MileMarker PE8000 on the website for $370!
A winch for me is solely for remote recovery as I never see myself doing any crazy rock crawling or mud bogging or using it every weekend. I understand most of you may stick with Warn, but at $1000, that is way out of the budget. Costco also has great return and warranty policies.
Any thoughts? Is this deal too good to pass up?
My buddy just bought one today for his 1999 LC. We are going to see if the mounting holes line up with his ARB bumper.
