8000# winch?

[JKPilot]

So is 8000 pounds enough capacity for a JKUR under the most usual condition?

U could get away with it if you use a snatch block but 9,500 to 10,000 is ideal for a JKU.

x2 on snatch block and 9500-10000, what would you consider most usual condition?

I run a 10k on my 2door in case I need to help out other rigs. There may be rigs other than jeeps out there that need a hand too

^^thats true...what would you say for just a 2dr?

If u only care about pulling out yourself an 8k is fine for a 2door rig

I run an 8k and its never let me down. I have it mounted on my JKU. As mentioned above that when using snatch blocks it increases its capacity.

In my case recovery from mud most likely situation.
