So I just bought myself a Viper Elite 5k winch for my XP1000 after reading a bunch of reviews. Price was the factor which steered to Viper over Warn (I’ve only ever owned Warn before).
Well my winch showed up yesterday, and of course, like a little kid on Christmas morning, I opened the box right a way. Much to my dismay, the first thing I see on the box is "MADE IN CHINA". I should have figured that out given the cheaper price, but for me "Made in China" isn’t something I’m proud of, and makes me feel like it is "2nd best".

In all actuality, I will still run the winch (since I have it and it is hidden within the frame of the machine! Haha!). However, I was curious to know if the Warn side by side winches are made in the USA? Maybe I should have saved my pennies!?!?!?!?
