What Size Winch For TJ
 

Hi,
I am looking to fit a winch to my TJ in the near future, can anyone
give me an idea of what sort of poundage for pulling am I looking at.

Cheers
Nick

The minimum recommended is 8,000 lbs though most of us go with 9,000 or
9,500 capacity (at most). The reason for that is the larger winches
have more reserve capacity and draw significantly fewer amperes at a
given load than a smaller size winch does. In typical heavy loads, a
larger winch can draw up to 100 amps LESS than a smaller winch!

of the various winches.
