hi im looking at putting a winch in my standard bumber like on one of the useful links on this site!
but im wondering whats the best one for around my £450-£500 price range?

Get a warn or Ramsey
My 2 cents

Something a little different. I've decided to fit a 50mm Reece Hitch Receiver to the front. That way, you can use a "Winch Cradle" to fit into the Reece Hitch and only carry the winch when you are going bush. My "IForce" 6000lb winch weighs 29kgs so that is why I've decided to go this way. Bonus is being able to put winch front or rear! Mate is welding up the receiver over the next couple of weeks. Just thinking outside the square :whistle: Plus, having a towpoint on the front can come in handy launching the yacht :woohoo:

goodwinch tds 9.5 are a very good winch

superwinch lp8500 (had one on my jimny & was exelent)

I think your choice will be limited by how you want to mount it. I think most behind the bumper mounted ones are fitted between the chassis and a winch with an external brake is unlikely to fit.

Superwinches, Ramseys and Goodwinches have external brakes, on the end past the gearbox making them too wide.

I've got a T-Max EW-6500 12V 6500 lbs Winch

rated at 2950KG and they fit easy between the chassis rails.

check the My jimny section, and look for my thread called "Jon's Jimny" I've got photo's of the install

the winch has got some real good pull!
