Getting the Wheeling Fever
Any one try one of these,
It's harbor freight brand. Alot of good online reviews and a couple of negatives reviews. Just wondering if anyone has one. 3 yr 100% free replacement warranty for $50.00.

Body Damage is Cool
Not 100% free if they charge for the extra warranty. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Somewhere on here someone showed the Milemarker and Chicago Freight side by side and they were exactly alike. Also they said that parts interchange. It's somewhere on the KIA board.
Several folks there have them and are pleased. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I have heard most warranties on winches are honored by repair and not replacment.
