95 would be perfect... Btw go with a warn winch, they are the most reliable and use synthetic rope to be safe

Quadratec makes a 9500 with a synthetic line that is comparable. Lane87 has one and i have there 9000 winch with steel line. great price and good quality as well. Warn prob is the best winch tho.

I have the Q-series Q9500i with steel cable.. it works great and you can't beat the price. I know Warn is a better company but for a build on a budget I highly recommend the Q-series.

I was going to go with a zeon with synthetic but was told it may not fit with my evo bumper so i was going to get a different warn one....but ended up getting the q9000 with synthetic line to save some money since I know i wont use it too much.

I got an Engo 10k shipped to my door for $309. It's no warn but it was a great price.

I have the Engo as well! Great price, has a synthetic line option, and tested well during a magazines winch test. I've used mine a few different times and didn't have an issue.

Go 9.5 cti with synthetic, you want regret it. That is the winch i have and does very well, has good line speed and synthetic line is so much easier and safer to work with.

i have the Warn VR8500 and even in the heavy ass 4 door with tons of added weight it pulls it fine. I have only used it like 3 times and it pulls kinda slow but it will get the job done for that every once and a while oh S*** moment

May I hijack this thread with a winch question? I haven't seen how to start a new one yet. The Warn 9.0Rc is only 55pounds but comes with only 50' of rope. Why is it so darn expensive and is 50' of rope enough?13119 Drayton Parkway in Hawthorne Park

I was also thinking of going with an Engo or something else other than Warn because of price. Does the Engo hold up over time?

Typically, the rule of thumb is to get a which that has a capacity approximately double the weight of your vehicle. A 4-door JK weighs about 5,000 lbs. so a 9500 will do the job just fine. For whatever it's worth, it's all that I have run and still run on my JK that weighs upwards of 7000 lbs. and I do use it all the time.
