        [COLOR="#800000"]LG - I simply Googled "Warn Winches made in China" and was linked to several forums speaking about the issue.

        I don't doubt Warn's warranty or quality control. I just think the "Made in USA" moniker is extremely misleading and almost a joke these days.[/COLOR]

          Good to know...... that leads me back to the affordable Engo winches. Think I've opened up a can of worms.

            USMC, thanks for the info.
            Reading it now-
            Yeah-It's either is or isn't made here. Pretty simple, really.

              Off topic but great idea.









              You end up with a warn 9.ORc rock crawler winch.

                            You don't want that one......
                            Don't think Warn has parts anymore for it-It's a very old 8274 type.

                              That thing is perfect for a old cj flatfender. This guy has parts for it.
