Need help on deciding what i should get. I do monthly offroading but this is still my daily driver so dont tell me to put 40 inch tires on.. Lol
Ive already got a lift, front bumper, rockrails, exhaust, wheels, speakers

I would just get a winch with recovery gear and save the rest for later, when you do actually need something. No point in buying stuff you don't need.

I got the Smitty Built X10 from 4WD it was around $400. I've already used it and it works great. For that money go for the 10,000# rather than the 8,000#

I was told 2.5 times the vehicle weight for winches.
