1st gens what winch are you running and why

Hey I'm looking to buy a winch. What are you guys running ?

 

since a stock first gen is about 4000lbs, a 6000-8000lbs winch is enough. A 10,000lbs winch is overkill

of course it all depends what you want to do with the truck and the winch. If you want to go into hood deep mud, a 10 000 winch is much less overkill

 

Warn M8000.

 

Warn VR10

With armor...full skids, gas tank skid, front and rear bumper. I am just over 4800 lbs.
I am still working on my sliders, so add some for that, add recovery gear, and anything else that will go up a bit. An 8K winch wasn't quite enough.

The VR10 will fit in my Shrockworks bumper and I got a really good deal on it.

 

Smittybuilt xrc 9.5 with synthetic line. It's a good value for the price.
