Mile Marker, because a warn caught on fire and my quad was toast, and the replacement Warn was crap and quit after two easy pulls. I now have a Gorilla winch from ebay, i think it cost me $90 with shipping and hasnt let me down yet.

I'm thinking we are all going with the Gorilla winches.

I put a Gorilla winch on my ATV last year, after talking to a couple of people and they gave some good reports on them. So far its been a good winch, I'm happy with it. On the other hand I have heard others complain about them, guess it all depends on what you like and how you take care of your equipment.
If we always do, what we have always done, the we always get, what we have always gotten! Learn to adapt!

Anyone know or heard anything about Vipers? Read about them quite a bit on the Polaris Ranger Club forum. Folks really like the product. My Ranger came with the Polaris winch or I would have purchased a Viper.

The price difference makes me wonder how much the mark up is on the "name brand" winches.

I have owned a viper max 3500 on my ATV for years. Never, not once, had one single issue with it. I have submerged it completely under thick gumbo mud and water.....worked flawless time after time. I will buy another viper for EVERY application I can use one on.
