I am looking to fit a winch to my JK Wrangler. The Bull Bar has a appeture to take it, but I am not sure what to purchase. Any help would be appreciated.

just because you have the aperture in the bull bar doesnt mean the winch will fit straight in ,you may still have to purchase a winch mount kit.warn are good,but there are plenty to choose from.

Being an ARB bar, a Warn winch would slot straight in. A 9500lb low mount would be the ideal match for the JK Unlimited with plenty of pulling power & an excellent line speed. There are some bargin chinese made
winches of a similar capacity that will fit as
well if you're on a tight budget & most would be fine for occational use.
To minimise weight over the front end I recommend fitting a synthetic rope like Masterpull.

Hi,
we have a JK, Mopar winch bar, (same stud pattern as most known brands) and have put a Tigers11 (chinese) winch in. 12lbs power, and came with synthetic plasma cable. For price comparison I really can't complain, and yes, I've used it and it works very
well.
I didn't like the control box so I took it all to bits and rewired it inside the engine bay, out of the way.

I don't have one of these but I had a chance to have a look at one installed by a friend.
