Default LOD bumper owners

To all of the LOD bumper owners, what winch did you go with? I remember a few weeks ago people were complaining about their winches not fitting, What winches do fit?

I want to finally get the Wife her winch, I was leaning for the SuperWinch epi 9.0.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I went with the new version of the T-Max 9k (Outback Series). I like the way it looks in the bumper, although I had to install the solenoid sideways in order to get it to clear the grille. Feasibly, the solenoid could be mounted someplace else entirely. You can click on the pic below to see a bunch more pics:

Where did you get your winch from, They seem to be only like 30-40 bucks more than the superwinch epi 9.0

Got it from David at Northridge 4x4, and I can highly recommend him.

that's the only full front pic that I have right now, if you want a better pic, I'll try to take a couple tomorrow. I've used it a few times and I'm totally satisfied with it. I've also read about the offset w/the fairlead but I think that the problem was with the first generation. I bought mine two months ago and the fairlead is perfectly centered.
