He hasent got them any more but you can take the risk.

Its the same as anything cheap Some are good some are bad.

I must say they have improved them alot since they fist came out but it still hasnt changed my opinion.

im sorry to pick on you but with no pictures and claming they use fanta cans for spacers. I have to be a bit sceptical of your clames

Mate I dont give a f%$k, Ironman winches have had some majour problems in the past and this was one that I know about.

Have they improved them enough to be a reliable winch ?

You'll be able to tell us all soon won't you

yes one winch and he thinks their made of recycled cans but then again the fanta can boy has no pictures of this ? HOW CAN HE CLAM THIS WITHOUT BACK IT UP
and he seems to get mad and use the f word to get his point across thinking its going to worry me or something
i just think hes full of s h i t .
or maybe he works for warn and their getting worried about their sales because the price of their winches is to high

You asked how good they were, I answered with what I knew about them.

If you dont want answers dont post.


Bogged, No there not all bad but they arent all good either. This is the most extreme one that I have heard of but there are many others out there. I spoke to a few resellers about the winch and they were having trouble with warranties and getting things replaced.
