What's your Warn winch and why?

Got my Zeon 12S very close to stall load (stall is just over 12,000 lbs) recently. Didn't rip either bumper off, but my alternator wasn't too happy. Even though it pulled very slowly, it still pulled until the job was done. I'm very happy with the winch so far

I Run the Warn 8274-70 10,000LB on my TJ Unlimited. Because I love my Jeep and I wanted it. I also have an 8274 on my CJ5. Oh, and and Older M8000 on my 79 k10.

Warn is ok I suppose. :cool:

This is all I have on my phone I can take a more detailed shot when I get home Friday.

On my own, I went through a couple of big mud holes on the way up to N Fork Teanaway on Jungle Creek. Didn’t get stuck, but I legitimately thought about it. In that same thought I estimated it’s value as $18k.
 
I just added a Warn 2,000 lb. winch to my off road trailer. It will be big enough to haul ATV's, garden tractors, "junk", etc. on to the trailer. The box it came in shows it on a car hauler pulling up a Jeep XJ. Not sure but that might be a bit optimistic. It is basically invisible and I access it through a metal box that is mounted over it.

I have a Warn VR 10,000 on my LJ and a Warn EVO 8,000 that I am about to mount on my XJ. Not the greatest but good enough to get me out of the trouble I don't get in to.

This. I've always wanted one, and came across a deal I couldn't pass up. Probably should've come later in the build, but I'm OK with it!

I just bought a VR evo 10. It’s not something I plan on using often, I don’t see reports of failures online and comes with warns warranty. It might be the cheap entry level one but I think for the hand full of times I’ll likely use it in the next few years it’ll do me just fine :).

Got an XD9000i on mine that I picked up used for $400. It has some unknown synthetic line and hook on it, but I've used it to pull out of a shallow mud pit with steep slopes and lots of yard/clearing work. I'm looking to upgrade the line in the future to a known entity and thinking of putting on a Factor 55 Flatlink E. Custom fabbed a line cover so UV and road rocks hopefully don't tear it up.
It came with an also unknown plate and roller fairlead which I replaced with a Smittybilt plate and Poison Spyder Hawse. So far, it's done everything I've asked of it.
