Viper Elite 5000 lb. Winch

NOTES:
- Comes with a Universal Mount Plate that can only mount to a flat surface.
- With a snow plow system, using a synthetic rope without the plow pulley fairlead kit will void the manufacturer's warranty.


With so many benefits to adding a Viper Elite 5,000-lb Winch to your cache of aftermarket accessories, why wouldn't you? You'll inherit the ability to get your friends out of a pickle should they get stuck in the sticky icky. It will also get you out of a bind should the situation arise while hitting the bogs alone. You'll be able to tow, haul, and even plow snow, that's just to name a few perks. So, why wouldn't you, right?

The question now is will this particular SxS winch give you the capacity you need without breaking down from element exposure. Yes, it will provide it, and no, it won't get damaged due to the environment. Viper builds the solid, fully sealed composite housing unit from weather-resistant materials and coats it with weatherproof paint for good measure. Inside the housing are metal gears, a quite greasing system, stainless steel tie rods and motor terminals, and an automatic braking system. It's also got all kinds of other bells and whistles, but we'd be here all day if we got too techy. What are you waiting for? Get outfitted with a high-quality UTV winch from SideBySideStuff.com.
