Winch recommendations for capable bumper?

Not anymore.

I've burned up 4 of them in the last 10 years.

I'm currently experimenting with a Superwinch on a JCR mount on my Bronco. Haven't had it long and used it enough to give a real opinion though.

I replaced one of the Warns on the F550 with a Sherpa 4x4 and so far, it's performed well.

The F350 got a Comeup that has also outperformed any of the Warns.

There is someone else in the crew who blew up a Warn and replaced it with a Badlands and seems happy so far.

Warn still says limited lifetime warranty 7 year electrical... I guess I don't know what the limited warranty means

In their defense, they did warranty them.

However, that doesn't do me any good when a gearset grenades itself in the backwoods.

Reliability matters more than a warranty.

For what it's worth I installed a rough country hidden winch on my base with the stock bumper. It's designed to go with the capable bumper as well and it bolts directly to the frame in a way that it exerts force evenly on both sides of the frame. It's wired directly to the battery and it's only "live" when I plug in the controller... since you have to be out of the truck to use it anyway, what's the point in wiring it to the aux switches?

Just curious if you know if any of them were the M's, or were they VR's?

16.5TI
VR12 x 2
M12

The sad thing is I've had several older ones that got sold with the vehicle including a pair of M8274's that I'd love to have back.

I got this one: https://a.co/d/3hWPhT8

I liked that it was lighter than many other winches. I used the Weisen winch mount.
