Learn from my mistakes. It does what it says it does. Pulls four tons. Has remunerated for itself in my case with one emergency use. Had to pull and lift 2.5 tons which it did with ease. I would commend having a snatch block and either a chain or heavy strap to give more choices when needed. It is not always possible to get the truck with the winch in incisively the right spot. The snatch block allows for more choices.

Never actually thought I necessitated a winch until I got the 4X4, but since my Trooper weighs in at around 4,500 pounds, I knew there was no way I could get out of a "sticky" circumstance without a winch. I run in sand at Hatteras, hills and woods at Wind Rock and make the occasional trip to CO to explore old mining trails and hunt for ghost towns. And I always travel alone. So, one of my original purchases for the Trooper was an ARB bullbar and a Warn M8000. That was in 2002. Oddly, since then, I haven't had a desperate need for a winch. Oh, there have been numerous times when I have had to clear a huge branch or tree from the trail, but I've never been stuck, so I never had a prospect to put the M8000 to the test.
Then, this Spring, I had a 70', 18" diameter black pine break in a windstorm and fall into the lake near my boat dock where we live. After failing to get TVA to remove it (it was on their easement), I decisive to see if the Trooper, ARB bullbar and Warn winch were up to the task. The tree was in in regards to 3-5 feet of water and would have to be lifted regarding 8' to get it up into my yard where I could cut it up with a chainsaw. I had no idea what the tree weighed, so to help in the lifting and increase the pulling power, I strapped a snatch block onto another standing tree as high as I could reach in an undertake to pull the trunk of the tree in the water up onto the embankment. I paid out with regards to half the wire rope (50') to gain a little mechanical advantage. The tree moved freely as I oriented it perpendicular to the shore, but in the long run snagged on the rip-rap on the shoreline. Not sure if I would overtax the M8000, I continued the pull, stopping occasionally to concede it to cool.
The winch was struggling with the pull, but managed to coax the tree trunk up and onto the embankment. Then, I attached the snatch block to a tree a lot of 60 feet away and positioned the Trooper regarding another 30' or so from the snatch block at regarding a 45 degree angle. When I started the pull, the tree moved only a few feet further into my yard before the winch started pulling the Trooper throughout the grass towards the snatch block. I blocked all four wheels and tried again. No dice. The tree was too heavy (but the winch, though it was distinctly struggling, pulled on). Finally, I backed the Trooper up to another tree and wrapped a strap around it and hooked both ends over the tow hook on the back. When I begun to pull, there was so much strength that I actually was finelooking sure something was going to give - the winch, the bumper, perchance even the frame of the truck. The winch was without doubt or question maxed out and turned slowly. But the tree moved. I took my time and permitted the winch to cool after in regards to each 1 1/2 - 2 minute pull. It took possibly 1/2 an hour, but the tree in the long run all ended up in the yard where I could saw it up.
The winch never failed (nor did the bull bar or the frame of the Trooper) and it saved me almost the cost of buy that day alone. Now, when I'm on the trail, I have full selfassurance that I may deal with closely any extrication issue that comes along. Well done, Warn!

I'm glad I did. The primary winch didn't work. Amazon sent another winch during one night had UPS pick up the broken winch. I love Amazon.
