Orangetang Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 ARBUSA claims XD9000, M8000 and M6000 compatible mounting, but what else fits? I know atleast one of you runs something else..... I'm not partial to WARN, so anything is fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The rocky raod's site has some winches that will fit that bumper you can get the winch localy but they can tell which winch fits. http://www.rocky-road.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The only requirement as far as winches is that it can't have the integrated solenoid. You need one that has a separate electrical box which can be mounted on top of the bumper or in the engine bay, but can't be permanently mounted on the winch. I've got a 9.5ti in mine with the integrated solenoid (has the "bridge" with all the electrical parts) in mine but I had to build an adapter plate and it still doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. The main reason you need the non-integrated solenoid is the mounting holes for the winch are on the front of the bumper (vertical) where most winches mount flat. With the non integrated ones they can be clocked so the mounting holes face forward. Bolt pattern is pretty standard with any brand winch. Just make sure the holes are 10"x4.5" apart.

Orangetang Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Any experience with the Tabor9k winches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangetang Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Fine don't reply! Only becuase I know I can return it in 3 years if it breaks, no questions asked, I bought the COSTCO Champion 9,500lb winch today. $399CAD... Install was a BITCH, but it fits the ARB, sans the bracket that holds the hood latch in place, which I just tilted diagonally, added a rubber bushing to the end of it and bolted it in TIGHT. Hood functions fine, and winch works well, but slow as all hell... I imagine more than one person has wondered about the fitment of this style winch, and yes it fits, with 1" to spare between it and the AC condensor. Fairlead fits perfectly. No additional holes needed to be drilled. Used supplied nuts and bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
