Harbor Freight 12000 Badland on JL with Steel Stock Bumper

[usmcss]

Hey guys, anyone have this setup? If so, what Winch Plate did you use?

And I know, Warn is the Best. I’ve read a lot of great reviews for me to believe that this is a solid Winch. Good reviews and $289

Thanks!

I would avoid the steel cable version

Amazon has some really nice ones

There are 2 of them on Amazon
The Warn is more expensive of the 2, but it may fit better, as Warn works directly with the Jeep factory

Here's my latest choice, as the blue rope will not do with the Jeep's body color:

RUGCEL Winch Waterproof Synthetic Rope Winch - 12000 lb. Load Capacity

Price: $358.99

I honestly think those two are all made at the same plant overseas including the Badland.

what mount are you going to use?

It will be a month away, as I just bought a Bestop Trex NX, Roam Rock-rails with a step cut-out for the less than tall passengers, and a Warn Elite Rear bumper

Here is the new Harbor Freight Badlands Apex. 12,000 lb, IP68 rated, with Synthetic line and wireless remote:

Overkill for what I need. I'm hoping they release an 8,000 lb version.
