The WARN M8-S Winch is a proven premium-series recovery winch trusted by off-roaders for more than two decades. Delivering an 8,000 lb single-line pulling capacity, the M8-S combines classic WARN engineering, durable construction, and outstanding value for trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs.
Designed with a low-profile housing and separate control box, the M8-S allows flexible mounting in a wide range of applications. A powerful 4.8 HP series-wound motor and 3-stage planetary gear train provide smooth, reliable pulls and fast line speed. The included WARN Spydura™ synthetic rope reduces weight while improving safety, paired with a polished aluminum hawse fairlead for smooth operation.
