Overview

The DV8 Offroad 12,000 lb Recovery Winch (WB12SC) is a heavy-duty, trail-ready self-recovery winch engineered for Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Tacoma, and compatible truck and SUV bumper platforms. Delivering 12,000 pounds of rated line pull via a powerful 6 HP series-wound motor and a 3-stage planetary gear train, this winch gives serious off-road enthusiasts the confidence to tackle challenging terrain knowing recovery is always within reach. Finished in a durable black powder coat, it pairs rugged performance with a clean, purpose-built aesthetic.

Key Features & Benefits

• 12,000 lb Rated Line Pull — Massive pulling capacity handles full-size trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs in even the most demanding recovery situations.
• 6 HP Series-Wound Motor (4.5kW / 12VDC) — High-output motor provides the torque needed for consistent performance under load without overheating during extended pulls.
• 3-Stage Planetary Gear Train (256:1 Ratio) — The high gear reduction ratio delivers slow, controlled, and powerful line retrieval for precise recovery operation.
• 86-Foot Galvanized Aircraft-Grade Steel Cable — Premium galvanized steel construction resists rust, corrosion, and wear, extending service life in harsh trail conditions.
• Galvanized Latched Steel Hook — Secure latch design keeps the hook from detaching under load, enhancing safety during recovery operations.
• Dual Remote System (Wired + Wireless) — Includes both a 12.5-foot corded remote and a wireless remote with up to 72-foot range, giving you flexible, safe control positioning during recovery.
• Steel Roller Fairlead Included — Smoothly guides the steel cable onto the drum without abrasion, protecting line integrity over repeated use cycles.
• Metal Control Box — Durable metal housing protects solenoid internals from impacts, vibration, and trail debris better than plastic alternatives.
• Black Powder Coat Finish — Corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant coating maintains a clean appearance even after heavy off-road use.
• Complete Wiring Kit Included — Everything needed for installation comes in the box — no sourcing additional hardware or wiring.
