    I have a DV8 Center Mount winch bumper I will be installing soon. I’m trying to decide, or figure out which winch between 9k-12k would work best for this configuration. Seems like fitment is the first concern. I’m assumimng limited space will be available for a big solenoid box. A wireless remote would be a definite plus, as well.

    I've seen the Domin8r X Winch work wonders on the 4wd Action channel on youtube. Constant use on their channel in Australia.

    After reading the other thread on that bumper, no winch. The design of the bumper doesn’t permit the type of frame supports that clamp the winch plate to the frame. Any hard pulls other than straight are going to be bad news.

    I was wondering this exact thing. For a winch mounted to a bumper, the bumper seems to need to be bolted to the frame with no less than 6 bolts. My C4 LoPro has been tested a few times and I always wondered why they had 8 hi grade bolts mounting to the frame in various locations. I’m glad they did
