Boasting an 8,000 lb pulling capacity, lightweight synthetic rope, and IP68 waterproof construction, it delivers reliable, fast, and safe recovery performance. Designed and tested in the USA, it features a powerful motor, wired remote control, and a robust warranty package, making it the go-to winch for Jeeps, SUVs, and light trucks ready to tackle any terrain. ## Description The WARN ER EVO 8-S Standard Duty Winch with a synthetic rope has an 8, 000 lb. capacity and is ideal on 2-door jeeps and lighter SUVs for everyday pulls and getting yourself out of trouble. The high-performance Albright contactor delivers maximum reliability and is inside the control pack that can be relocated for low-profile installations. Included is a state-of-the-art wired remote. This winch features an IP68-rated waterproof construction that keeps the elements out, and a durable, one-piece cast-aluminum tie-plate for extra strength and durability. A powerful series-wound motor and planetary gear train deliver faster line speed under load, with lower amp draw. These winches are designed, engineered, and tested in the USA by WARN engineers and have a limited lifetime for mechanical parts and 7 years on the electrical. With its fast line-speed and lower amp draw, the VR EVO series of winches are the hardest-working standard-duty winches we’ve ever made, with tactical styling that looks great up front and at a price that won’t pull you out of your budget. Review: You get what you pay for — and with WARN, that's a lot - If you're in the market for a serious winch, this is it. The WARN VR EVO 8-S is built exactly the way you'd expect from WARN — solid, well-engineered, and ready to work. The 8,000 lb capacity handles everything I've thrown at it and the synthetic rope is a great touch over steel cable for both safety and weight. Yes, it's priced at a premium, but that's because it's a premium product. You're not just paying for the name — you're paying for reliability when you actually need it, and that's not the time to wish you'd spent a little more. Might be able to get a Bandlands version cheaper but if it fails when it counts, is it worth it? Worth every penny. Buy it once, buy it right. Review: Worth the extra money, I tried to go cheap and learned my lesson - I've never had a winch before and didn't want to spend big bucks for one when who knows how often I'll use it. I started going off-road by myself and a couple of times found myself wanting to play in some mud I found but didn't know how deep or full of ruts it was. So, I decided to get a winch to make it easier to decide how far I'll go by myself. I originally bought an off-brand 13k winch. I mounted it and went through hellacious hoops to try to get it wired correctly and finally ended up working backwards through everything and found out the winch was DOA. No problem, I bought it on desertcart and was within the return window and returned it for exact replacement. This time when the replacement arrived, I bench tested it before mounting and discovered it had bad wiring and was also DOA. That's when I decided to go with WARN, even though it is more than double the price. I discovered that not only did WARN have a 7 year electrical warranty AND a lifetime mechanical warranty, it was MUCH easier to wire. I bench tested before mounting, mounted it, and then wired to an external solenoid that I have connected to my Aux 4 switch on my Jeep so the winch only has power when I need it. I only had to run the positive red cable to the external solenoid and the negative black cable to my battery negative. I already had the external solenoid wired from trying to install the other cheap brand. I bought the 8k because I've got a 2-door Willys, so it's within the 1.5 times you GVW. It fit nicely on my Carnivore full-width steel bumper. Didn't require any cables to/from the winch other than power and ground. The remote is very solid and works both wired and wireless. I guess it's true, you get what you pay for. I'm looking forward to years and years of service from my WARN. Besides, everyone knows WARN is the best looking winch on the market. ## Features - 8,000 lb Pulling Capacity: Built for full-size trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps, providing reliable pulling strength for tough off-road recovery situations - Equipped with Synthetic Rope: Features a lightweight, high-strength synthetic rope for safer handling, easier spooling, and reduced weight compared to steel cable. - IP68 Waterproof Construction: Fully sealed winch body protects against mud, dust, rain, and water crossings for maximum reliability in extreme off-road environments. - Items Sold Separately: Vehicle specific mounting sold separately. - Superior Warranty: 5-year mechanical warranty, 3-year electrical warranty, supported by a US-based customer service team. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SKL787Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #807,559 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #579 in Towing Winches | | Brand | WARN | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (125) | | Date First Available | May 31, 2019 | | Item Weight | 67 pounds | | Item model number | 103251 | | Manufacturer | WARN | | Manufacturer Part Number | 103251 | | Model | WARN | | Product Dimensions | 21 x 6.3 x 10.1 inches | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Images ![WARN VR EVO 8-S Electric 12V DC Winch – 8,000 lb Pulling Capacity, Synthetic Rope, IP68 Waterproof, High-Performance Off-Road Recovery Winch for Jeeps, SUVs, and Light Trucks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618iLwiFV8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Solo biene el winch??
