Which Warn Winch Poll

So I'm in the market for a winch and I know I want to go with Warn. For this poll lets say money is no object. Which Warn winch would you pick out of these? For reasons I'd rather not explain I can only pick from these models.

I will purchasing a plate bumper a bit further down the road - (still haven't picked one - open to suggestions)... I've called around and asked about the Zeon series fitting in the fabricators bumpers and most couldn't give me a straight answer. Some did - All-pro said it would fit. Relentless said it was a tight fit and took a lot of effort and was somewhat of a pain.

 

Had the M8000 on my 86 4Runner, I loved it, came in handy to pull me and my friends out of sticky situations.

 

I run the 9500 ti on my Jeep and love it. I've had it for years. If I were to do it again, I'd go the Zeon 10 hands down. Comes with the synthetic line and all the huevos you'd ever want.

 

If money is no object, the XD9000. I have the integrated model on my work truck, and it has been seriously abused with no problems. Gets used on a regular basis and keeps on ticking. The M8 is a solid winch as well, if you wanted to save some coin.

Personally, I wouldn't go the Zeon route because I think you are going to have some fitment issues with just about any plate bumper. It may fit, but as Relentless told you, it would be a pain. Also, I'm just not crazy about the way the look haha.

 

Run XD9000i's front and rear on the Jeep. Used and abused for years and never had a problem with them. not the strongest, lightest or fastest one in the poll, but they do their job exceedingly well IMO.

 

ive had the m8000 for two years and its never failed me once, always had more than enough power to pull my truck, or anyone else out, also pulled down a few old rotting trees with it haha

 

Good feedback guys - keep it coming please.

I have a line on a smoking deal for a Demello front bumper. Anyone know good - bad or otherwise on Demello bumpers?

 

amazing quality, one of the top of the line vendors for tacoma plate bumpers, cant go wrong with them at all

 

Demello makes awesome stuff. That's probably the best looking bumper in my opinion. My only reservation is the 1/8" steel, but it saves weight, and I haven't heard any complaints, so it must work pretty well... On my AP though, the 1/8" wings flexed like crazy before welding it up and adding braces...

 

So I went with the XD9000. Seems like less of a hassle - tried and true... I wish they had the synthetic rope model though.

 

Just because it didn't come with it doesn't mean you can't add some on.

 

I know... any recommendations on synthetic rope? I know Warn has there own...

 

I bought a zeon 10-s a few months ago and love it. That's my vote. As for fitting, it seems a bit smaller than my buddies cti. The best part is the entire top comes off and can be relocated elsewhere if you are worried about space in the new bumper.

 

What kind of bumper are you running?
