I have the Rugged Ridge Modular bumper on front and I am trying to decide on which winch to buy. I had the Rugged Ridge 8500 pound winch on front and it was a (P O S) hard to disengage and engage into gear and very noisy. I was thinking about the WARN M8000 model WAR26502 with wireless remote for $539. Any thougts or opinions

 

the warn m8000 is a solid winch that a lot of folks have and it's one that works well. i would recommend it.

 

I want to buy the superwinch epi9...comes with more line and a block. I also like the idea of an integrated solenoid.

 

another reason to go warn is that their customer service is one of the best bar none.

 

I've had this too, and it works well!!!

 

i have this in synthetic and love it. highly suggest it. check amazon for the best price

 

I've got the Warn 9.5ti in the RR XHD. Very nice fit, looks good. Functionally, this thing is a beast. Just pulled out a phone company bucket van from sitting on the axles about a week ago. I had to anchor to another truck to do it, but the 9.5 never even flinched. It has an incredible line speed too. I don't use it often, but when I do, it's a serious load. I know it's quite a bit more expensive than the others, but well worth it in my opinion.

 

I've been really happy with my Superwinch Epi9.0 also. Has a high line speed also which is great when spooling back up.
