either your facts are flawed, or youre running some type of reserve
equipment. the US military uses mile marker hydraulic winches
_exclusively_, and they have for several years now. electric winches
proved worthless when trying to winch from an amphibious landing
(submerged) so the hydraulic winch was standardized.

I'm on Camp Pendleton and MCAS Mira Mar once in a while and I've sure
seen non-Milemarker winches on some of their trucks.

i was a little skeptical at first but ive yet to ever hear of a single
failure from the chinese built mile marker electric winch. that said,
explore the hydraulic lineup before making a purchase. US made, US
military tested and proven, and still cheaper than the premium electric
winches. theyre a little intimidating at first, but they really arent
difficult to install. i installed a 10,500lb. mile marker hydraulic
winch on my '03 rubicon http://tinyurl.com/5x5fg (dial-up users beware)
that ill be putting on my next rubicon (or gladiator if they come to
market this year), and a 12,000lb. mile marker hydraulic winch on my
'04.5 dodge cummins 4x4. electric winches served me very well in the
past and i have nothing against them, but since going hydraulic ill
never go back to electric. you can never appreciate the difference
more than when you need a winch the most.
