Im going to jump on the Warn wagon. There are just so many options. Im not a rock crawler, but i do want a winch that when i need it, i have it. and it works. Im also not looking for the cheapest thing either. I kinda figure if you spend 30k on a jeep whats another 1000 for a name brand winch. And i also like to try and spend my money in the ol USA.

anyway, i havent really found anything bad about these winches other then the standard"overpriced name brand".....Heres the jeep and bumper ill be mounting to....which i have also read that i should re-enforce where the winch is going to mount with some angle iron or something.
I was thinking of the Zeon 10 for me, but ive also read several good things on the m8000 and the 9.5cti winches. I dont know, just looking for some feedback.

 

Go Zeon 10-s they are awesome and good choice on Warn. You can't go wrong with it.

 

Zeon 8-s. More than enough!

I got a warn 9.5cti-s and love it. It has very fast line retrival 62ft per min no load. If you vet the 9.5cti it holds 125ft of 5/16 cable

 

I love my XD9000i, it's also one of the few "submersible" winches. Meaning it works while fully submerged under water, and yes I've tested it like that and it fits work under water just fine.

M8000s here. I think that you can't go far wrong with any Warn that's 8k or above. Whichever way you go, make sure you throw a snatch block in your recovery bag to double your pulling power.

 

Cool picture.

 

I like the idea of not having to worry about water as with the xd9000.
im going to have to go and read some more i guess....DOH!

any experience with submersion with the other warns

 

warn specs say 47 ft per min..

What kind of prices did you all get on your winches. Ive seen warn is offering 100 rebate.
didnt know if any of our site sponsors had anything going on. i tried northridge, but of course after i read the fine print it didnt include warn...dang!

 

I went with the Warn zeon 10-s. Its weather tight and submergeable. other than the Warn rebate, Warn pricing will be the same across every vendor.
