Jeep Winch and Bumper
Apr 25th, 2009 by C. Alexander Leigh
I told Jordan that if he closed on his new orange TJ that I’d buy a winch. The reasoning is pretty simple; he’s by far the unluckiest bastard I know so someone around him should have a winch if he has a Jeep. If he got one, it would just break.
He hasn’t closed on the TJ yet but I figured why not and ordered a winch setup. I went with the SuperWinch EP9 which is the same thing I had on Remington (the Discovery). The Jeep people talk crap about Superwinch, but I had zero problems with my Discovery setup despite submerging the winch in all kinds of things multiple times. I saved my bacon and earned by trust. I want with a LOD 44″ bumper (not really required to do this) because I hear good things and it has shackle points and the winch plate from them (required to do this).
I still need to get synthetic winch line (there’s a lot of players on the market now!) and an Optima battery.
