M10000 and M8000, Christo may know of more options. Out of all of the sweet things on your 100, I'm most envious of the Teq blisters. I shoulda jumped on a pair of those (kicking myself)
Pimp--I always figured on the 80 I could go with a 9.5 TI becuase it is waterproof. This weekend I got good and stuck in some mud but I was not high centered--two rubicons also got stuck along with me and we all have lockers. It took two winches to pull me out one was the warn 8724 and the other was the 9.5 TI with a pulley attached. It took over two hours to winch out the cruiser. After this experience I would go for something big. I have read good stuff about mile marker. I realize you aren't planning on using it much but it would really suck if you buy one that is under powered and can't get you out of your predicament. Warn also has a TI now that is 16.5--the thing is on the 80 the bar is rated at 10k--what is the bar for the 100 rated?
It looks like you blokes can get a Sahara bar easier than we can here, and we make them!!!
I have just sold my Patrol which had a Sahara bar on it http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album198/aaa.sized.jpg (Actually it was the 3rd one ARB ever made) and I was going to put one on my new Cruiser but ARB can't get me one for nearly a month, so I decided to go for the TJM version, I think it looks pretty good as well.
Looks like size wise the 9.5XP is just about 1" longer(motor) than the XD9000, so it should fit.
would still prefer something 10K+

On a related note, anyone know how to get synthetic rope on an ARB/winch combo? ARB USA says not to run Hawse fairleads with their bumpers and if you look at how the winch fairlead is recessed into their newest bumpers (including all the 100 bumpers) you'll see that a roller fairlead is pretty much all that will work in there. Anyone come up with anything creative to run rope and a Hawse? I would prefer the lower weight and safety of this if possible.
Maybe you could fab up some kind of spacer block and mount the Hawse more flush on the face of the bumper? I dunno. Maybe it's a lost cause.
Someone already mentioned Mile Marker electric. There winches are very functional and priced 60-70% of Warn. Guy I wheel with uses winches every single day at work (tow company owner) and he bought a Mile Marker for his personal vehicle. It functions very well.
As far as fitament goes, I'm not 100% sure which one is the right one. Compare measurements of the ones you know for sure fit and you should have your answer.
I had a Sahara bumper on my 4Runner with a Warn HS9500. From what I recall, the side clearanace was the one areas where it was close, I believe I had between 1-2" on each side. You can go to warn site and pull up a PDF showing the dimensions.
