winch 10k vs 12k for the 3.0

[Mr Rubicon]

Is it necessary to have a 12k lb winch for the 3.0 with steel bumpers and armor ect or will the 10k lb still be fine for most mudding/off roading

10k is fine. Used it today with no issue. Hell we pulled my 3.0 up a 20 degree slope with a 5000lb winch off the hitch of a razr lol.

Impressive! That’s awesome

You can always use a snatch block to double up.

I think the only reason I'd want more headroom, would be to pull a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup on occasion. Otherwise go for the faster line speed.

The rule of thumb I always heard was your winch should have twice the weight capacity of your typically loaded rig weight.

I went with a 12k winch because I don't see any negatives to having more winching power if I need it, and I am not always winching my vehicle.
