I am not sure on the Viper's, but the Gorilla winches are made by a company in Minnesota. However they are built in China. They have good customer service, if one brakes on you, even out of waranttee, just call the company and they will take care of you.

If your talking about Arctic Cats, run along and play somewhere else. Brand bashing is for idiot's, a-holes and teenage bratt's.

I have a Venom 2500XT from Ebay, and it works great. I just reccomend with any cheaper priced winch from ebay, to put a good synthetic grease, like amsoil into it. The Venom winches have a cheap grease that dries up quickly in them. No problem, i like knowing there is a good grease in it anyway now that i put it in myself

I was just looking at ebay and have been tossing the idea of a winch on the back of my machine. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a viper winch. I see you can pick up a 3000lb winch with mounting plate for $120. I know you get what you pay for. What cheaper winch have you used?
As always, thank you for your time

Hi Catmanv2..... The reason I asked was because we are putting winches on the back of our toys. I just built a custom front bumper and the mount was part of the factory bumper.

catmanv2.... If you look at ebay in the arctic cat section you will see the same front bumper I USE to have till last weekend. But anyway, you can see the mounting plate is where the 4 bolt holes are on the flat piece. Then you just mount your roller fairlead on the front. I will try to post a link to the bumper but if it does not come up just do a search for Arctic Cat 05, 06, 07 650 or 500 ATV Front Bumper Nice! ..........................http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Arctic-Cat-05-06-07-650-or-500-ATV-Front-Bumper-Nice_W0QQitemZ150040911700QQihZ005QQcategoryZ43966QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking at winches at ebay also, I was wondering if anybody has any of the gorilla winches they have listed. Also who makes these winches, (vemom gorrilla viper) because in the specs they are all very similar.
Oh, sorry for the basher form brp not cool!!!!!

Hi,
When you put the viper winch on did you need any additional mounting gear? I was told that the Arctic Cats already have the mount in place but for some reason I don't see it.
