Where was the making of this winch?

Manufactured in China. Don't let that dissuade you from purchasing one. There parent company based in Georgia is second to none on service. I had a broken connection and they got a new one to me in two days. Also this winch will outpull all the other 8500's out there. It just doesn't quit, and doesn't even overheat. I love mine and I've dragged everyone out of the hole. I continue to get the coments, my (smittybilt, warn) would not have pulled me out of that.

It's a power winch. It's purpose is to wind a cable. Presumably the cable is hooked to a system of pulleys and struts that lift your top. By "no crank system" I imagine you manually lift the top up? If that's the case, it would probably require some engineering to use a power winch.

According to the description it is. Great winch. Especially with the low gear

It wasn't very loud. Don't know the rpm. The winch worked the first time when pull one boat lift off the lake. The 2nd year, tried to use it again, we found it didn't work any more, 4-5 teeth of the gear had been worn out just for one job. We had to send it to trash can.

It is a lot quieter than a shopvac, and about aas loud as a cordless drill. It is not loud at all. No winch can be used for hours on end without stopping, it is not meant for that.

I would check thru Superwinch or Warn winches to see if they offer a hidden winch mount to make it look factory. Most winch mounts have the same bolting pattern for the winch. Otherwise another option is new bumper that has a winch mount.

Winch can be powered by the existing battery on the vehicle you are putting it on.

Merry Christmas to my son too bad this is not what is in the picture. Thanks Amazon for letting this continue to be sold on your website deceptivly. If you want the winch mount better go find one.

You are not saying what "this" is that you want to fit on the mobile mount. If you mean a different brand of winch other than a Tuff Stuff winch you might have to do some drilling. Pete M.

Most Superwinch winches are Researched and developed in both USA and UK and are marketed in most other countries. Parts suppliers all over the world supply parts to many different winch companies including Superwinch. Concerning Superwinch, I will tell you that most of their product line supplied to the USA market is assembled and shipped from their Conneticut, USA facility and their home office is in California. Though interstingly enough, there 1st winches and current specific models where actually, and still are, made in Great Britain. As for Warn winch products according to one of their sales reps stated that they are also only assembled in the USA. Warn also has several of their parts suppliers in china and many other countries, but there main Vendor is in Taiwan, but from what I understand Warn has plants in China, so some are made in Taiwan and some in China. But thats only certain winches and for the most part there components come from all over the world. I personnal buy from Superwinch due to their price and warranty. And excellent customer support i receive also my first hand experience and testiment to their durability and quality. I have owned Warn products on several ATVs also and in my experience and repeated use the Warn's main failure was corrosion on the Switch block and the Lock/Unlock cap design- the cap would always fail and become always locked or unlocked and require service and part replacement- replaced all winches with Superwinch brand winches and 3 years to date of greater than average use on many monthly ATV adventures and no failures to date.

I purchased a 2500lb atv winch from harbor freight for $59.00. I mounted it on the back of the rear rack of my quad. I removed the crank assembly and replaced with couple of small shackles. I attached the winch hook to the shackles. The winch came with a remote button so winch operation in and out is easy. It works great! John G

Nope, it comes predrilled with the holes for a winch and the fairlead. Obviously it's meant for the XRC line of winches, but it's easy to switch to a Warn or other brand.

I think the winch would go under the bow bar but had to take the stock rubber bumper guards off to mount bow bar.

The winch comes with all of the wiring and solenoid. It comes with the rope also. You just need to get a mounting bracket for your application

I could find only this on the tiller: "Fabrique A China", so I assume it is made in China!!!

The long cable is to give you flexibility for mounting the antenna. Once installed, the winch is operated by the wireless controller, that communicates with your hardwired antenna.
