Aaron: So i read the reviews before buying, thinking, there's no way it's that bad, they must be doing something wrong.... Cover is made of nice material, looks well made, however...., while I did manage to make it work, it's a p.i.t.a to get on and off my xrc9500 with the drawstrings in the way and the sides just kinda flap around. I'm gonna try and re route the strings to make it work better when it's not so cold out. I guess I'm happy with it, was just hoping it would fit better for the price of it.

MattMatt: I mean it works. Keeps the winch dry. I’m not a fan of the draw strings. I replaced it with small bungees. Also had to put it on backwards. Says it will fit the 17000 pound winch. It barely does. If you put it with the logo forward the folds would be open and let water in.

Anthony Sorce: Fit but tie straps are difficult to use. Cover seems strong and good quality should have a better system to tie down. I only used one hole on back of each side and it seems to be working.

Goofy Girl 19: It is a very nice piece but requires a lot of time to secure . I have a smittybilt winch and xcr bumper so I expected it to be a straight up fit .

Doug: Have not been able to install correctly due to the bumper arrangement on my particular Jeep. Have “Mickey Moused” it for now. Hopefully it will not fall off.

BEN V.: The cover is nice. But the fastening straps are a real pain when you have the winch bolted on a mounting bracket

Tyler: The description states it’s built to fit the x20 comp winch..... it does but not without modification. The actual cover is the right size for the winch but the lashings were not designed to fit and secure to the mounted winch. Some sort of elastic/bungee cord would’ve been better. Overall this cover is ok but will require you to modify how it is secured

DC MikeDC Mike: It does what it says. No surprises here. There are no instructions, so here's what you have to do... THINK. Just take 5 minutes and think about how to deploy the winch cover. Do that, and you'll be fine.
The cover is large enough for my X20 Comp 12k Smittybilt winch, so I don't know WHAT people are talking about, saying it didn't fit. I re-laced the cinch cord through the eyelets, and used 2 bungee cords for insurance. The cover is a dull finish and black, unlike the images that show either a grey cover or a shiny black cover. It is a dull-ish sail cloth material. I included a few pictures to show what it really looks like.
If you're on the fence and you own an X20 winch... BUY THIS AND STOP WORRYING. Hear me now - believe me later.

; ~ PB: Devotional image from Rick Warren
“We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5b NCV).
Here’s the secret to temptation: Don’t fight it. Just refocus. Whatever you resist persists.
Did you know that in the Bible, not once are you told to resist temptation? We are told to resist the Devil, and that’s a whole different issue. But the key to overcoming temptation is not to push back. It’s to change your focus.
Whatever gets your attention gets you. The battle for sin always starts in the mind. That’s why the Bible says in Psalm 119:6, “Thinking about your commands will keep me from doing some foolish thing” (CEV). Why? Because if you’re thinking about God’s truth, you’re not thinking about the less important stuff.
It’s true in every single area of life — good or bad. If you focus on godly things, it’s going to pull you that direction. If you focus on the stuff that’s at the movies and in magazines, it’s going to pull you that direction. Whatever you focus on gets your attention. Whatever gets your attention is going to get you.
The key is to just change your mind.
