Call Duncan at Titan Winches (Burlington). I've got the 12k and it's a hell of a deal.

You're better off with 2 separate systems dedicated to doing specific things. The powerplant has a good base buy you will get more air from a dedicated system. Not saying the pp sucks, just that a full on board air setup allows for air lockers and air horns as well as airing up tires and airbag suspension assists if you ever install them

Check out the latest Quadratec catalog. They are running a sale on the Warn 8K...I believe it was going for the low $500's with rebate...
