My Badlands Apex wasn't even close to fitting in my LOD bumper, so I ended up putting it on my old farm truck.

Is there an 9.5k or larger winch that is particularly compact? Mainly front to back, length doesn't matter as much.
Seems hard to gather this info on most winches online.

I know I could shim the bumper out farther, but I really want to avoid that. Thanks!

Which bumper are you running ? I have a LOD Destroyer Shorty and the Warn Zeon 10s fits just fine...

Both the Warn Zeon and Evos seem smaller-framed than the Badlands

I have the signature series and can't get the winch in after the bumper is installed, not even close.

If I try to put the winch in first, and then install the bumper, I can't get to the bolts to frame.

Other guys have been able to pull it off but I cannot.

I sought out a small winch as well. I found the Smittybuilt X20 with the relocated control unit to be quite smaller than my previous Zeon. Small enough to fit INSIDE the stock plastic bumper, in fact.

Some day when I have Warn sponsorship (ha, yeah right), I’ll run an RC9 up front and in back.

Yikes, that's a sick Warn but $2500 is a little rich for my blood.
