I just bought a warn m8000 winch today fron 4wheel parts wholesalers, It was on sale for 787.00 from 949.00, Wholly crap thats expensive!!! A comperable 8k mile marker smittybuilt etc are 300. I realize that we are supposed to buy american made shit but at these prices I can see why so much shit is shipped in from china.Fuck!:mad3::shaking:

check that they charged you for the right winch, 4wpw are retards and love to fuck wheelers right in the ass. that is insanely high, especialy for 4wpw.

It wasn't 950. It was 787 plus tax =856. Still sucks. I might take it back or get a quote and make them price match.:shaking:

Ya, A friend of mine bought on last year at their march madness sale and it was 549.00 +tax. I asked them about this and they said they had bought some 10,000 winches so they could sell them cheaper but got in trouble with warn. Suggested retail price 949.00. I got screwed.:mad3::shaking:

4wpw almost put posion spyder out of buisness pulling the same stunt, so overloaded them with bulk orders they couldnt meet any other customers needs.

M8000's, w/80' line & hawse fairlead used to go on sale for $499 shipped all the time.

That's how I got mine.

I haven't kept track of prices since then, but $856 for an M8000 (even with a roller) is more than anyone should pay.

O.K update. I found the same warn m8000 on ebay for 499.00+62 shipping. So when I bought the winch 4wheel parts said they would price match so let's see if they are a stand up company or not. I'm going back tomorrow.:D

Good luck.

Every time I tried to get them to do something even as simple as price-match a magazine ad (just like their own ad says they will do) I was met with rude pricks that obviously didn't give a shit about keeping their customers :shaking:

I haven't shopped at 4WPW in three years now.

That's what I'm afraid of! Oh well, either they price match or they will take it back and loose a costumer.

Try looking again. It looks like the price of that one has gone up everywhere. Sucks as I was looking at getting one in a couple of months when I have some money rolling in. I would be able to do it at $500-600, but I don't know about $700-800 + shipping. Will have to see when the time comes.
