Plan on getting one, but I am new to hardcore off roading and know nothing about winches. I searched but didn't find an answer to my question. Is a 9000# winch adeqaute and if so which brand/model would you reccomend for the Rover Solutions front bumper. Also, if you have a front bumper from Rover Solutions, how much did you pay for it. |

9000# is what you want. As for brand, I am sure everybody at this site has an opinion. Ramsey, Warn, it is kind of like Goodyear or Firestone. |

best way to get your answers is just to contact Kyle and ask him. His bumper is set-up for the Ramsey RE though (either 10 or 12). If he does make a bumper for you, i don't think he'll make it to accomodate a smoker. But ask him yourself. |
