The original WARN workhorse — 8,000 lb pull, 100 ft of Spydura synthetic rope, low-profile housing that fits more truck/Jeep mounts than the larger VR EVO and ZEON winches. Series-wound 12V motor, 3-stage planetary gear with 216:1 ratio. Hand-held corded remote (not wireless like the VR EVO). The pick when a buyer wants WARN reliability at a lower price than the VR EVO 8-S, and doesn't need IP68 or wireless control.
