I'm leaning toward recon I think. Engo is a close second but still haven't heard anything bad about recon. Need one soon. Two tacks are finally opening up here in the far north.

Aw man. This thread is making me wish I had a winch bumper. Had no idea there were good winches like that for such a bargain. My RR XHD has no winch mount tho :(

Don't you just need to purchase the winch plate? It's like $130.

So I'm guessing RECON's winches are much better quality than their lights? I've heard hell stories about their lights and customer service.

Umm maybe. But if I were to have one I'd want it recessed in the bumper. Not sure how the winch plate works
