First off I'd like to thank everyone on this forum that has helped me out since i joined. This forum and it's members have helped me out very much and I'm extremely grateful.
Anyways, I've had my jeep a little over 3 years now and haven't exactly needed a winch being in North Dakota. I'll be leaving for good in early April and I will be living in Pennsylvania and visiting Michigan often. That being said I will be wheeling my jeep alone for the most part unless I meet some people in Pennsylvania. I'm asking advice on what a reliable winch is thats not too outragous in price. Probably wanting to spend less than 600 on it. I used to wheel my dad's jeep that had a smittybilt winch that actually broke when he was pulling himself out of a snowbank. I'm definitely leaning towards a Warn but I know very little about winch capacities and what I would need. Main things are reliability and not an outrageous price. Thanks in advance.
Edit: As far as reliability goes I need something that won't break even if I'm framed out in muk. I am also debating putting a second battery in for this exact reason. I did read the thread on the dual batteries so that may be a future project.
