So, just in case you all, don’t know the reason why the ZEAK winch is identical to Badlands is because the same Chinese companies who makes the parts for the badlands winch, is the same company that’s making ZEAK the winch. I currently got the new 13,000 LB ZEAK winch and I don’t regret it at all! Very durable and good looking!

Probably I'd rather pay a bit more for the badlands version. HF had been stepping up the past couple of years and sending American QC teams to China for their stuff. My worry (especially after seeing the swapped LEDs) is this is made of the stuff that doesn't pass that QC.

Ive had a Zeak 10k for several years and I love it. Its really strong.

I bought a 13K Zeak for my '68 Bronco project. My controller has a magnet and the lights are labelled/located correctly. The inconsistencies are strange. My direct wire cable doesn't say Badlands, either but it does look identical to the Badlands part. It's been a couple years and I am more than happy with the winch overall so far.

I just bought a new zeak 13k platinum for 350 delivered its pretty nice unit. Certainly better price then bandlands apex and it looks identical almost

Would love to see a review of the badlands; was planning on getting that one, but think ill try my luck with the zeak!

So far it’s been a good winch, I’m hoping to get some more use out of it soon! Thanks for watching 🍻

When Tegan and I saw you using the axe as a knife I said “That’s not a knife!” in my true blue Aussie accent 😂😂😂

I bought 2 of the 10k Zeak winches off Amazon in the last year or so for my Suzuki Samurai and Sidekick. They work great but it looks like Zeak no longer sells them on Amazon. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@ATEMOFFROAD I doubt it, when I was kicking around Amazon looking for a cheap winch I found these and noticed they had a lot of the Badlands features. It would be completely ironic if Harbor Freight sued someone for copying their design though 🤣
