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 Â£250 upwards
