Question: Does anyone have verifiable experience of any winches, other than the 4 named in ARB's application page (Warn XD9000, M8000, M6000, 9.5XP) fitting properly into a winch bumper for an '05 through '07 Libby? I would like to expand my range of choices when puchasing.

Thanks,

Matthew

You don't need to put a Warn in it if you don't want to. For example, I have a MileMarker freaturing MiFi technology; no solenoids to go bad and variable speed. It brings teh sexay... your results may vary.

Why would you want any other winch besides a WARN?

Love my XP9500,sure it took a dump but that was due to how it is mounted in the ARB and I purchased before they knew about the issue(being mounted "feet 1st" so the drain was in the wrong place),so after 4 years they gave me a brand new winch,no ?'s asked, with the motor clocked right to mount in a KJ ARB bumper(you can clock it easily yourself also).

Good info guys, especially the info on seting up the Warn winch motor for the ARB bumper. Thank you very much!

I may have to bug you for more details if I get a warn TJKJ. I just wanted to know if there were any other manufacturers available to see all my options before dropping that much money into an investment.

Cause they're expensive and solenoids suck.
