Recommended Winch for Jimny ??? was created by r7ynp1988
HI,
I am looking into fitting a winch to my Jimny does any one recommend a winch ?
Not going to be fitting a winch bumper so will need a winch plate along with a winch.
Also will i need to upgrade the battery and alternator to power it ?
Thanks
Ryan

A Goodwinch TDS 9.5c is an excellent choice, that's what I've got now, but getting a Warn 8274 soon. The TDS winch is also with good possibilities for upgrades such as bigger faster motor, air free-spool, bigger drum etc.

Offroad Armoury makes a winch plate

There's a recent thread about bigger alternator. Big I'd say a bigger battery is more important that bigger alternator.
for Battery, you need something with about 650 CCA or more.

i would say it depends on your budget as there is a few decent winch's on the market these days ranging from about £250 upwards
