I've heard a few stories about Viper but nothing on Gorilla winches. Anybody got any horror stories?

nope none yet haha i orderd a gorilla 4000 and mounting plate off of ebay for 174 and it works like a champ my buddy has one mounted on the back of his 4 wheeler also its like night and day vs his front winch which is a viper hope this helps yea

I put a viper max with the rope option on mine and its stout, pulls the rex with no problem. Havent had any touble out of it either.. I havent heard of any bad stuff out of the gorilla though either.

i've actually heard quite a few horror stories about the gorilla at the HighLifter site, but have none of my own. My Viper Max got put to serious use again this weekend with no problems. i must have over 50 pulls on this thing, and the only problems were caused by me. i have personally seen the off-brand china-made synthetic cable on the gorillas fail 3 times in one trip (kept snapping, so we'd shorten it until it was finally too short to use). the Viper comes with Amsteel synthetic cable. if you're not familiar with it, do a quick web-search and see.

Got the 4500# viper max that Skinny recommended to me. $318 shipped with the amsteel syn. rope installed. Only have had to use it once but worked great.
