Costco has a deal on a Mile Marker PE8000. I've been wanting to buy a winch for years and every time I need one I have a fit because I haven't bought one yet. Well, I'm ready. I don't do much wheeling and don't do anything too extreme.

Is the PE8000 a decent winch? I've been looking around online and see that some people complain about it being slow and others talk about solonoid failures. Is the gear ratio not ideal? Have solonoid issues been blown out of proportion?

This is going on a portable mount for my 92 extra cab 4x4.
