I have a cobra 29 Lx cb already so thts good for starts.As far as a winch I'm looking at a 8,000 - 10,000 pound winch since the rule of thumb is twice the weight of my vehicle.. Correct?

I'm looking into a 3-4 inch OME or teraflex with 33" . The jeep is my commuter so I have too keep the gas mileage reasonable.

Cobra 29 is a solid unit. 8-10k winch should be solid. Smittybilt (XRC8) and Warn (XD9000) are awesome winches, and they have a number of others as well (depending on your budget).
Good luck with everything!
