    Hey All!!

    Stoked to be here, new to the off road world.

    I recently bought an 11' with Icon front coilovers (no res), Total Chaos uca and Icon rear shocks, Dakar leafs.
    Ive just had the front shocks rebuilt and uca ball joints and bushings replaced.
    Also put in some Anzo lights ( LED ) ( not pictured )

    Im looking to do the next logical upgrade and it seems to be a winch.
    I drive this as daily driver (a lot of highway) and only do 7-10 forest service/deactivated road trips a year. I dont like the idea of putting an ARB delux because although it looks cool I dont want to lose more mileage (heavy), its pretty shit as is.

    Really like the look of the US OFF ROAD bumpers/winch combo

    https://www.usoffroad.us/store/bump...nt-bumper-warn-vr-series-winch-shackle-combo/

    (as theyre lighter and dont really need the functionality of a big bumper or clearance of a "high clearance" bumper.)

    What would you want your winch capacity to be for this rig? 10,000? Read that it was 1.5 times loaded weight


    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK!?

    ANY Help appreciated.

    Welcome to TW! Another option for saving weight (probably 25-30 pounds or so) with a winch is swapping to a synthetic line.

    DE1BFBEB-F3FA-448B-87C0-1226F6ED607F.jpg Welcome! I was in the same boat, so I put on a 9500lb winch with a hidden mount, and to save more weight used synthetic line. Didn’t notice any sag or difference while driving, plus you still get that clean stock-ish look! Hope this helps!

    Great, thanks so much! Went with the ARB Bull bar and am going to put stiffer springs in the front. If it looks goofy or takes down mileage too much will just take it off and sell it!
