All details are developed and made by professionals. Many of the customers are satisfied with their purchase and recommend this device for people who decide which winch to buy.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote Control<\/h3>\n<p>This remote control features latest technologies to provide you with the convenient usage of the winch. It includes a rubberized handle that lies very comfortably in the hand. It will stand out any adventures as this remote control is water-, mud- and weather resistant.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6258\" width=\"258\" data-init-width=\"490\" height=\"168\" data-init-height=\"320\" title=\"4-1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4-1.jpg\" data-width=\"258\" data-height=\"168\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Control Pack<\/h3>\n<p>The control pack is fully removable, so you can place it wherever it will suit to your car. The winch is controlled by 3-stage planetary gearing with line speeds up to 29\u2032 per minute.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6259\" width=\"300\" data-init-width=\"490\" height=\"195\" data-init-height=\"318\" title=\"5\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"195\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Steel Rope<\/h3>\n<p>This model is stuffed by steel rope that is proved to be easy in use and unpretentious in comparison with <a href=\"https:\/\/winchcentral.com\/winches\/synthetic-rope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">synthetic rope<\/a>. So this variant is more suitable for beginners because such rope is really easy to clean after usage from mud, dust or whatever you have faced with. And steel rope makes this model more affordable because this material is cheaper and than a synthetic one. You only have to oil it with special machine oil for long service.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6260\" width=\"300\" data-init-width=\"490\" height=\"169\" data-init-height=\"276\" title=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"169\" style=\"\"><\/span>But such rope has one disadvantage because over time the steel fibers are damaged and steel burrs will appear and will cause at least discomfort when you are using the winch and such rope can injure your hands. To prevent this you\u2019ll have to use special gloves.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"User_Experience\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">User Experience<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Cost, Warranty<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: Controller Connection<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended?<\/strong> Yes<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got this winch for Christmas and promptly put it on my TJ. I pulled myself up a hill attached to the back of a truck to get the winch line nice and tight. Everything worked great, it&#8217;s not the fastest winch out there, but it gets the job done. I winched for a little bit then gave it a rest, thinking that the motor would be hot. It was not hot in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p>I recently gave this winch a real workout and it worked great. Wheeling in Gore VA in the snow was fun, but required a lot of winching. Probably pulled myself 10-12 times over the two days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell if this winch will hold up as well as the rest of the Warn line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6181\" width=\"324\" data-init-width=\"1000\" height=\"486\" data-init-height=\"1500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/91NDvnJmytL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\" data-width=\"324\" data-height=\"486\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Warn_VR8000_Testing\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Warn VR8000 Testing<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6185\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" data-init-height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"250\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Warn VR8000 on Dodge Dakota<\/h3>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"6186\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"1000\" height=\"328\" data-init-height=\"656\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"328\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, in general, we can say that WARN VR8000 winch is a great purchase for beginners as well as for professional users.
