Now that I have my FREE winch, what accessories should I get for it? I have never had one so I don't know. It did come with a roller fairlead.

Definately consider getting synthetic winch line for it which will also require a standard fairlead (no rollers) it will save you some weight up front and is safer.

Sell you current line and roller fairlead to offset the cost.

Then, add some heavy gloves, a snatchblock, tree saver strap, d-rings, and you should be ready to Pull.

I totally agree. The synthetic line isn't so heavy as the steel cable either. ARB makes a nice heavy accessory bag. I grabbed one of those, a snatch block, tree strap, an extra 30' roll heavy duty tow strap (leaving out chain), leather gloves and d-rings. Got a d-ring in your hitch? Yes safety reading required. Be sure not to run your fingers into the drum while winding up the last little bit of cable. Coach anyone helping you not to do it either as it's an easy mistake.

Now go get stuck.
