Default Inexpensive Winch?

I ordered a Schrockworks stubby front. Hopefully be here in the next month. I am looking for an inexpensive winch that would fit. I don't plan on using that much so don't want to spend a lot. Does anyone have suggestions on winches and prices? Thanks.

Sounds like that's in my price range. Do you know if it will fit in the Schrockworks bumper? Did you order from a vendor on the forum?

Some bumpers that I've looked at were around $1000. Now, if I was using every weekend, that would be a different story. Thanks.

Through asking the same kind of questions, I've come to the conclusion that it's best to save your money and buy a good quality winch, but it's your money for sure.
