Winching- is the stock electrical system enough?
I have a 2011 4 door Rubi and a Warn 9500cti that I will be putting on the front bumper. I am wondering, will my stock alternator and battery be sufficient to run the winch? I don't anticipate any HUGE EPIC winchfests or any thing like that, just regular stucks or maybe a tug over a rock obstacle, short duration stuff is all I really anticipate. I just want to know if my stock system can handle the winch or do i need to upgrade? Thanks!!!

Yes. You will eventually want to look at a deep cycle battery though. Also programmers like superchips will allow you to set the idle up to help with battery charging while crawling or winching
