This question sparks a never ending debate. Bottom line is do some research, check out some of the winch shootouts, check some prices, then make a decision. I personally got my Harbor Freight 12k winch for under $300. Im not saying to go out and get one if you plan on using it really often but for my uses, it does its job. I have used it to remove 3 trees and pulled myself out of a few bad spots and dont have 1 complaint.
yes dont forget a snatch block helps alot i have a 8k smitybilt with no complaints but i dont use it all the time im not a heavy fof roader warn seems to have great winches
I have a Warn M8000 (I wasn't crazy about the VR series, but I wanted a Warn, so the M8000 was what I could afford), and I agree with 1jeeplvr and fuzzyjk: don't forget the snatch block
