Default Which Winch

Finally got myself a winch bumper, need to find a winch. Not planning on doing much hardcore off roading.

Will a 9000 lb one work for me? Any advice

?

When it come to a winch you take the vehicles weight and double it thats how much pulling power of a winch you need.For a xj 9k is good to have so you got a little extra.And do a lot of research on the winches before you buy one to make sure you get a good one.

I've got the Smittybilt XRC 9.5k Comp winch. Has done everything I've asked it to do.
Line is super easy to pull off by hand. Have had zero problems with it and I use the crap outta it. Very affordable also.
