Fitted a winch to the front of the Jimny a few months back and I'v noticed since when you start to push it on the temp needle starts to raise...

Anyone else had the same problem? If so whats the easiest resolution?

Are you sure the is not another thing causing it?
I was unsure about the placement of my led light bar as it was
blocking most of the air intake bit of the bumper but has made no difference at all.
If you offroad a lot, is the rad nice and clean? Its easy to fill them with mud.

When I fitted a winch my cruising temp went from 91-92 degC to 108-110degC, I also had big driving lights and live in tropical Australia so have high ambient temps. It isn't summer yet and it is 38degC at 10am lol.
Anyway I removed my driving lights and cruise temp has dropped back to 91-92.

Temps measured with a scanguage11, car is a 2013 jimny
