So I am about to order the EVO 1/4 pounder front bumper, and pair it with the pure jeep light bar. And inside I am goind to mount a Smittybilt XRC-8. Anyone running a similar setup or have a helpful opinion or review on any of these?
Thanks

The XRC-8 will be plenty for the 2 dr. You can get a snatch block and double your pull weight.

 

XRC-8 has been great for us. Snatch block will definitely help get you out of those real messy situations. You might want to go with the XRC-8 Comp because it will save a ton of weight off of he front end by having the rope instead of the cable.

 

I vote synthetic!! Good advice on reducing weight.

I have the Engo 9K with synthetic and it meets my needs.

 

Every pound counts especially when we are bolting on hundreds of pounds with some upgrades. Just don't skimp out with a thinner bumper or skid plate to reduce weight.

 

I have the Smitty XRC-8 comp winch (synthetic line) on my JKU. It's got me out just fine when needed. I try not to get myself into situations where I need it. I look at it as "insurance" and I went cheap. I can't say nothing bad about it. It's not nearly as fast as a Warn, but it will get the job done.
