    looking at getting a new winch with sealed solenoid box, and I looked at the X20 10k, but them stumbled across the newer XRC gen3 12k, the frame size is the same as the 10k (bolt plate pattern), and has a solenoid pack that can be mounted elsewhere same as the X20.. I have ordered myself a SSO hybrid front bumper, and believe this should fit without issue, and with 12k, and the pulling indicator on the remote should serve me well. heard complaints on the 10k x20 such as slow pull power, and bad solenoid boxes, and a few others.. the gen3 xrc claims 17% increase in line speed, and a 7HP motor, forged gearsets, and wireless remote. has same IP97 rating for waterproof for 30 minutes @5ft. and with a 12k winch I would have a hard time reaching it's max capacity..
