Road Armor Brand Winch

Anyone familiar with these or know who trully makes it? At the asking price ($847 MSRP), I would go for Warn something and knowing me would end up ordering from their more premium line for much more... But at 50% off for $423.99, I’m going to try it and will report back. Just wondering if anyone else knows anything or tried it?

I feel at $1,600 for front bumper, skid, winch and fridge seems like a great deal... I’m sure the winch and fridge isn’t that great… Worth a try at the price (fridge was “free”), I know their bumpers are great or use to be.

EDIT:
For those that later search, here's some pictures of the original winch (all they did is put their logo on it).The real price of this (X-Power) winch is $350-425, often with free shipping.

Some basic specs not included on their website:
12000 lbs Integrated • 12V DC Electric Truck Winch • 3-Stage Planetary Gear System • Synthetic Rope 3/8"*82 ft. • Gear reduction ratio 232:1 • 2.5” drum for superior cable-surface contact • Steel hawse fairlead • Corded remote and wireless remote control • Automatic load-holding brake for maximum safety • Road Armor backed Quality Guarantee

Only person I could find who actually installed one.

I finally did some digging on this winch and was able to find out more about it. I will not be installing this on the Jeep and will probably end up selling it. Should be delivered Thursday and will be installing my bumper and a Warn winch when I return home.

This Road Armor winch is a rebranded X Power and obviously made in China… Bit of a drunken purchase this one was. If I don’t sell it, I’ll probably put it on a trailer.

My advice, don't fall for the "sale" like I did with Road Armor and probably don't drink and shop. Also the 35-50% sales that you may see on Road Armors website, is actually a normal sale that is done regularly (as in constantly). You can even type in Blaze50 and will get 50% off regardless of advertised promotion. Bumpers are great quality at their normal price of 50% off, but their other stuff is rebranded junk... I feel the selling of rebranded stuff (AKA Chinese Junk), lack of communication and inflated MSRP with regular "big promotions" really cheapens the brand; seems odd for a company that prides their self with being a premium made in the USA brand.

EDIT:
Ordered a Warn Zeon 12S from Nexgen Off Road - $1459 shipped. Hopefully they have it in stock… Lots of good reviews with this company and best price to be found at the moment.

At that price I'd imagine that they are not an authorized reseller, if that matters to you.

They didn't have it in stock (so I canceled) and I just checked, they (NexGren Off-Road) are not an authorized dealer. Had they had it in stock, I would have gambled with them (their honestly after getting ahold of them says something). I ended up ordering from Quadratec, because they have some in stock and am sure they are an AD. I take it Warn is probably won't warranty it if not purchased through an AD?

Looks like they where delivered today. But here’s the ”free” fridge and winch. The fridge is certainly rebranded, as I seen that over at Rough Country/Summit. My stepfather is installing his new bumpers on his 2500. It will be at least a week before I see my Jeep and all it’s projects... If someone is interested in this winch and fridge, they can shoot me an offer. I will be listing them and some take off parts in about a week (factory tire carrier, bumpers and few little things).

We ended up installing this in my stepfathers Ram 2500. It works pretty well for an utility winch. Mostly used it for digging cars out and multiple long sessions. Never overheated, wireless remote works great and for a good distance away. I don’t feel we put it through it’s paces, but it’s a functional winch.
