Offroad and 4x4 winches at the best/lowest prices

And winching accessories

Well known in other parts of the world where winching isn't just for weekend fun, but a day-to-day necessity for survival, Competition Specialty (CSI) and SMITTYBILT heavy Duty winches are quickly becoming the winch of choice for those who can look beyond the 'name' recognition of Warn, Ramsey, and Superwinch... and would actually rather make a purchase based on quality while saving a few dollars. Our winches all use a 3-stage planetary drive system for efficiency and durability... NOT a worm drive like many low cost winches on the market. Further, many other brands that use a planetary drive use pressed/stamped gears. Machined gears are heat treated for maximum durability. The winches are also geared very low to increase power and safety.

Heavy Duty winches

You want power??? How about up to 6.6hp!!! Try and beat that big-name-expensive-guys! These hi-output series wound motors are well-known outside the US for endurance and reliability. The excellent gearing ratios combined with that insane power rating creates excellent resistance to overheating and wear.

Lowest & best winch prices, best features!

You want more features? We got em'! All winches feature a posi-loc drum brake which automatically locks the drum to the beefy main gears at the moment winching stops. Compare this with the cone brake in most other winches and the drum lock wears less on the motor, helps keep temperature lower, and is just all around more reliable. It might surprise you to know that most winches use inexpensive bushings for their moving parts. CSI prides itself in using a full bearing system for smoother cooler winching. This also requires less amperage to drive the unit which draws less load from your vehicle's charging system which is nothing but good.

ARB Winch Accessories

Tree Saver.
These straps are another absolute necessity for environmentally responsible 4wheeling, and should be a part of any recovery gear set. Wraping a winch cable or chain around a tree can dig into the bark & potentially kill the tree. A better answer is the use of a tree protector. The 4" wide tree strap helps distribute the large forces of a vehicle recovery over a larger surface area, thereby reducing damage to the tree. Features reinforced, abrasion resistant eyes and load safety indicators.

 

 

ARB Winch Straps.
A proper recovery strap is the most basic and essential piece of any recovery kit. You should always have at least one with you any time your 4x4 leaves the pavement. ARB Winch Straps feature reinforced eyes to resist abrasion on the areas with the most wear. They feature a genuine stretch of 20% which operates similar to a big rubber band, aiding the recovery with kinetic forces. Also contains an overload warning indicator which lets you know when the pulling capacity of your tow strap has been exceeded. This is by far the best and safest recovery strap on the market today.

 

 

ARB Snatch Block
A snatch block should be in the gear bag of every winch equipped vehicle. The snatch block's pulley design helps out on awkward angle pulls or it can be used to double your winch line back to the vehicle, doubling your winch's pulling capacity when you're REALLY stuck. Unlike some cheaper alternatives, ARB snatch blocks are guaranteed NOT to damage cable diameters between 6-12mm by eliminating the crushing effect caused by an improper designed pulley on a cable under load.
