Old thread brought back but I’ll save up my pennies for this oldie. Everytime if seen one used they never fail. Warn has been making this forever and the still do, expensive but worth it

I’m running this one and have used it successfully a handful of times so far. Great price, so it was hard to not give it a try.What about the Borland - Apex - with synthetic rope? Any good?

If you can find a anniversary addition it was upped to 10K with synthetic line... But limited production run, I wanted to order one then until I seen the price on it....Old thread brought back but I’ll save up my pennies for this oldie. Everytime if seen one used they never fail.

Great winch. But, you need a very specific bumper for it. It’s HUGE. And it blocks a lot of airflow. I actually chose the Zeon 10-S over the newly redesigned 8274.Old thread brought back but I’ll save up my pennies for this oldie. Everytime if seen one used they never fail.

Yes. Having a winch is like having insurance in the respect the it's something you have but hope you never need.So in my case an 9-10K pounds would work. I don't do climbing up the sides of a cliff - and likely wouldn't try to pull anything twice the weight of my JT anyway.
I've also heard good about the Harbor Freight brand and the Smittybilt brand. Those are the places I'd look for my type of use and need - it's more insurance than anything. All of these years I've never been in a spot where I'd even need a winch.

Definitely looks cool though.
I get the line/physics of the snatch block. But ultimately it still only lets you reach the maximum pull of your winch. A snatch block won't turn your 10k winch into a 20k winch. It will let you get to the 10k limit in a shorter distance from vehicle to anchor point.
Tell me, learned and experienced members on here, do I need to go through the headache of getting the 12k winch?
Does any winch fit that plate?Smittybilt x2o 12k synthetic on a Warn plate.
The Warn plate is not significantly more expensive and is (IMO) better designed and built of better/heavier materials than its competition.
