I don't have the VR series so can't comment specific to that. I have, however, found the Warn customer service to be impeccable (free replacement parts no questions asked, answered some newbie winching questions I had, etc) and that should be the same regardless of VR, Zeon, etc. Based on that alone, if choosing between Warn and another company, I'd go with Warn. Interested to see what others say specific to VR though.Read through this entire thread with no answer. So, it's time for a THREAD REVIVAL! (Que WJCO, the meme king.)
In the next two weeks I will be investing in a winch. This will be the last large piece of my build and my budget is allowing $400 to spend on it. If I could save up more, I would. This is a use it or lose it sort of deal.
For my last Jeep I went with the Smittybilt XRC 9.5. I had no issues with it and it seemed like a fine winch, but I'm not buying it again.
I want a WARN, but the only one I will be able to afford is the Gen 1 VR8000. I know that this is a Warn from china. My question is, for those of you that went with this route, would you reccomend this winch? Is there anything that makes it stand out from the other chinese winches other than the fact that it's got Warn's name on it?
