24v winch-quick advice

[askeyey]

I posted this in winching and recovery but I don't know if enough people will see it for me to get some advice before I go check this winch out tomorrow.

I found a smoking deal on a Warn 18dc 18,000 lbs winch. Only problem is that it's 24 volts.

Do I have any options for making this work in my truck? The deal is good enough I would be willing to put in some effort ro make it happen.

Simplest way to make it work on 12 VDC is to install a 12 VDC motor.
Otherwise you need a Series-Parallel solenoid, a second battery, and a bunch of heavy cable.
