I just installed a Superwinch SX12SR on my 21 JT rubicon with steal bumper yesterday. $663 shipped on sale on www.jeepandtruckparts.com. They have limited supply though. Amazon is $866 total.. Same warranty as Warn. Comes with wireless and wired remote with built in led light. The winch itself has an led light as well but pretty useless when it’s tucked inside the bumper.. Got the Warn winch plate to hold it. Fit like a glove!

I ordered this one, didn't think the $200 price difference for the synthetic cable was cost effective.

I sure did not expect this type of aggressive marketing from Napa, doupling the price to advertise 1/2 off. And it's for sale for even less now with 15% off.

I went with a Sherpa 12,000 #. There was three things that made me go for the Sherpa. I'm guessing for most folks those three things are not worth the extra $500 to $600 dollars but it was to me.

1. Billet cut gears instead of sintered gears.

2. The clutch works in the gearbox instead of the drum thereby keeping the heat off your synthetic line. If you are running cable that won't matter.

3. From everything I could find the Sherpa winches seemed less susceptible to water intrusion. That's probably more subjective than objective though.

Less important is I liked the yellow color of the Winch. Zero reason to get it based on that. Plus I'm the only guy at meet ups with a Sherpa winch. Again, zero value in that. 😂
those look pretty slick byt man even more expensive than warn!

where are you seeing that 395 price tag. I just checked and it was up to 750, and the synthetic was 930….



Anybody have updates about the badlands? Looking for a 10K option for the front and a 8k winch for the rear - so it really needs good corrosion and water resistance.

Must have been a web site glitch with the move back to regular prices. Several Maxi Trac items that I bought for 50% off were showing the 50% price as the regular price yesterday and today are back to the full regular price.

Evidently the prices change based on area code/store. Checked today and found this

My tablet had a Cincinnatti area code and that showed the $790 retail price. My PC has the 50311 area code and that shows the $395 retail price.

They know Iowans can't afford the expensive stuff like the Easterners can LOL (J/K)
I bet it's $1,100 in CA.
