Opinions on warn winch. What to buy

It's amazing how light the synth cable is.

 

Right? I was surprised as well.

 

Mind if I ask what that set you back?

 

Ended up coming out to 1400. For 300 more I could've gotten the 9.5xps but I've been told by the old timer at my shop that those are focused more on speed rather than torque. I don't need speed, I need power. Too bad warn doesn't offer a xd9000s... Cause now I'm sittin on an extra cable as well as a fairlead. But, never hurts to have a spare. I'll post some pics of the install of the winch and bumper this weekend for those who are interested.

 

Cool. I was buying a bunch of other stuff for the truck at the same time so I didn't want to spend more than 1K for the winch. M8000s fit the bill. I also got it before an offer they had expired (a goodie bag with a snatch block, straps, shackles and gloves). Of course I have to wait 8 to 10 weeks to get my freebies, but oh well. Enjoy that new winch!

 

Bumper and winch installed. Paid 0$ as I did it myself. Glad I did. Now I'm waiting on a fairlead tho. Has anyone heard of or have experience with this fairlead and or this company?

The arb bumper has a recessed fairlead mount and is offset. I'm thinking this deep fairlead fit nicely. Thoughts?
