Default Winch Poll

Looking at the above winches and am torn between the Superwinch and Warn....I threw the Smittybuilt on there just to see how it does. This will be going into a RR stubby.


I am leaning towards the EPI9 because it has 25' more cable 1k more pulling power and comes with a snatch block.

I don't see your poll, but you might also consider the Mile Marker winch. http://www.milemarker.com/

Don't do a ton of wheeling but want it just in case. I don't want to spend that much either.

I have the 9.5TI on a TJ and an M8000 on a JK, which is the second M8000 I've owned. Let the first go with a Jeep I sold. I've never yet run into anything the M8000 couldn't handle with ease. The M8000 has plenty of motor power and if you think you'll run into a situation where you absolutely have to have the extra capacity, use your snatch block. You do have a snatch block in your wheeling gear, right?
