I also laughed when it happened. Just wanted people to know so they won't make the same mistake.

I thank you for this post. I am taking your lesson and skipping Smittybilt completely and going straight to a Warn.
LOL!! I apologize for laughing but I get the feeling it was your intent to make us laugh. I'm assuming you can still return it?

:cheesy: Okay, now that was funny!!
LOL!! It's not a matter of them being "terrible" but rather, a matter of quality control or lack there of when it comes to Chinese manufacturers. Just because you're seems to be working well for only means you got the 1 in 10 or even 1 in 100 that seemed to be made well enough. The issue here is that the odds of getting a bum one is significantly higher than would be the case with an American made WARN. When it comes to safety equipment, I personally prefer to go with something I know will work.

I assume this is the JKX when he wouldn't say the brand only that he should of bought a WARN
Yup, this is that JKX and it was a Smittybilt. Of course, Overlander JK has an ENGO and it did the same thing on the Rubicon a few weeks back.
I carry a 6-ton bottle jack but, being that you list Elbe as one of your favorite trails, a Hi-Lift might be more useful in certain places there. Still, you can't beat a good bottle jack for most applications.
You do know of course that I say as much ALL THE TIME. I take it you're new to the forum. :naw:

Yup and they are junk just like the smitty. I bet teraflex is built at the same place as well!
