I'm going to talk you into getting stuck, then hold your jeep for ransom. :)

I run the same winch, and after 1 decent pull and two hard pulls(+snatchblock), all is well.

I went to buy the XR8 at 4wheelparts and they were out....as usual. They didnt have squat on the shelves of that place. I asked about ordering and they said everything from smittybuilt is about a month out. Now that I see the xr10 I may wait for it.

4x4groupbuy.com and 4wd.com were the only places that had them when I ordered them.

I've got a Champion 7500, got it for under $250 at Sam's Club over three years ago. Had it on my Toyota for awhile, now on the CJ. It came wih a mounting rail (universal) controller an snatchblock. Been used and abused and still going strong. I replaced the motor, $99 shipped, becuase of corrosion inside, it died. So, $350 in it so far, I'm happy with it.

I dont have one yet but you can get the smittybuilt ones on ebay for the same price as 4wheel parts, and shipping on some weren't to bad either
