Which winch for the 4runner and Cruiser?

[Adams06]

Hey guys. I have a 2006 4runner and a 1996 series land cruiser. I am going to be putting custom bumpers on both here soon and I am wanting to know which is a good winch that could be put on both of them.

I say this because my current trail rig is the 80 and in a few years the 4runner will take over. So I dont really want to buy another winch when its the 4runners turn to take over.

I really like the warn 9.5ti for the 4runner, and I also like the warn 12k for the land cruiser, but I think the 12k is way overkill for the 4runner. Do you think I could get away with the 9.5ti for the land cruiser and 4runner, or should I go ahead and step it up to the 12k?

Thanks a lot for you help.

It's going to be a major PITA to swap one winch back and forth between two trucks. Save your money and buy one for each when you can. But the 9.5 would do OK in an 80-series Cruiser for all but the hardest pulls, especially if you use a snatch block.

I always like more power.
