I had one for a while on a Scout II.
Worked fine for a few months and several pulls, even pulling a Bronco hooked to the back of the Scout while winching.
A bit slow, but so what?
If it hadn't exploded on me, I'd still have it.
I stripped the clutch, broke the housing, and the cable came unspooled (despite having a full layer of cable still on the drum) and broke the drum, too.
Hauled it all back into Costco, they gave me my $300 back, and I bought a T-Max 9k. Faster, and hasn't let me down yet.
I have the Costco/Champion 2,000lbs-er on my trailer, and it works pretty well.
a buddy of mine just bought the 2k# for his trailer. we just havnt mounted it yet. we were also lookin at the 8000# too but there was no price on it.
