Reviews for Smittybilt 97510 X2O-10 Gen2 Winch

The quality

Haven't used it but I like it. Was easy to install.

Love this winch, definite work horse just don't pull for more than 30-45 seconds at a time or it will get hot. Definitely recommend.

I have had the first generation of this for about 10 years. While I have only used it a couple times for its intended purpose of pulling the Jeep out of trouble, I have used it for countless other tasks. Attached to a strap around trees that were getting cut down and used it to make trees fall where needed. Pulled the hedge along my driveway roots and all. And yanked pine tree stumps out of my yard.

For the price this thing has held up, don't fear getting one. Only downside is they packed this thing so full of nasty grease eventually you could not free spool it anymore. I took it apart and repacked it with synthetic grease, works great again.

Seems to be a great winch. I haven’t not used it to get out of trouble yet. I have pulled my Jeep up a hill to wind it. All functions worked as intended and installation was easy.

Replaced a 12+ year old MileMarker winch that had given good service, but was tired and needing replaced. This unit was recommended by others and has good reviews. Install was pretty easy. Pretty much cant get it wrong with the color coded wire connections. Worked first time turned it on. Worked well on a couple test pulls. Seems well contructed and operates smoothly. Wireless remote is a plus. Looking forward to many years of good service.

Very nice winch. Installed easily and looks great on our Jeep Rubicon.

Installed the winch on my 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Easy installation instructions. Have not used it yet, but it looks great.

Bought the Smittybilt winch for my 98 TJ. Easy install with the raised install plate and great installation guide. Went to Moab with a bunch of friends and had several opportunities to use the winch ... for me and several other Jeepers. Worked flawlessly and got us out of some tough situations. I swear by Smittybilt! Thanks Q Tec.

Nice winch for a great price. The only real issue I have with it is the way the solenoid switch box mounts to the top of the winch. It doesn't feel very secure.
