Re: MileMarker PE8000
Jerry,
your right, that mile marker PE8000 is the same exact winch that Harbor
Fright Tools carries. Same price, same specs, same controller, just a
different branded product. I cant believe I was suckered by mile marker in
thinking it was thier exclusive electric winch. I'll just save for a Warn
8000.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
I think both you guys take this whole process WAY too seriously: after
being in the military for awhile and seeing the cheap POS gear they
foisted off on us, there's one explanation for such a huge contract (if
the whole Army indeed uses them): some congressman's brother owns Mile
Marker. Why do you think the Marines keep buying the Osprey aircraft?
Because at least one part is made in each 50 states. Look it up. They
may be great winches or they may be crap, but unfortunately I don't
believe that quality enters a whole lot into the equation. For every
Jeep-type quality product they get lucky creating, there are 50 F-18s,
H-60's, and M-16s.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
Exactly. I've lost bids to the US Navy. where the end-users strongly
wanted only my product (supercomputers from the ex-superstar SGI
(Silicon Graphics Inc) and they were clearly superior to what won, but
my product still lost. Solely due to cost reasons and a purchasing
agent who was there solely to kill time towards her retirement. For
anyone to say Milemarker won because it was "better" has their head up
their ***.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
I think the "cheep POS gear" came along with Slick Willie's selling
of our missile technology to China, and the mass closing of our military
basses.
