I'm new to buying winches and I've never bought one before. Everyone that I have talked to has told me to buy Warn. I haven't necessarily narrowed my search to Warn but I figured I would start there. I have $1,000 to spend but ideally I wouldn't spend the whole amount so that I can buy some other winching accessories (snatch block, tree strap, etc...). I can spend more if it's truly worth it but again, I don't plan on using it all that much but like you all, want to have the confidence in it when I have to. I also figured I would try and stick with synthetic rope and shoot for 8,000 to 10,000 lbs. pull capacity. I have a somewhat modified `98 100-series LC. I'm about to put a aftermarket front bumper on it, hence the reason for this purchase.
I narrowed my search to either of these 3 options:
Warn 89305 Zeon 8-S Winch ($1,149.99 Amazon, Considered their Premium Series)
Warn M8000-S ($826.23 Amazon, Considered their Premium Series)
Warn 87840 VR1000-S ($849.99 Amazon, Considered their Entry Level Series)
So if you were me what would you consider? What is the difference? Thanks for any insight on this.
