pretty much any winch in the 8-10k range will work.

Just the essentials and no extra fluff.

My completely unbiased research has shown Comeup and Warn to make a superior product.

I’m thinking about getting the smittybilt x20. It’s price is more appealing and for the amount of times I’ll realistically use it, it should be more than enough.

All chrome removed, TRD Pro grill, All-Pro Apex sliders, ARB twin compressor with Slee mount. SSO slimline bumper with Smittybilt X20, Softopper

I installed the Smittybilt X20 on my SSO. Went with the X20 due to positive reviews and price. Fitment was great. Only issue installing the winch was access to the mounting bolts. Not much room between mounting plate and skid on the bumper.
