Looks good. The holes inboard are for seatbelts? Where are the outboard holes?. Let me know when you want to test it.

We did a little playing around today. Went out riding with some friends. they were in a stock 4 door JK. The seats were nice and comfortable. The jeep did good. The carb was giving me some issues but that's to be expected when I let it sit too long without driving it. I think I'm going to upgrade to a mc2150 in the not too distant future.
Funny listening to someone that has never seen a jeep crawl. Good stuff.
I'm in the market for a new winch. I had a cheap milemarker that lasted almost 10 years, but I'm wanting to step up to something better. Here's what i'm looking at.
Smittybilt XRC 8 :$299 Pro's: cheap, i hear it is fairly reliable. Cons: Slow
Warn M8000: $499. Pro's: proven reliable, uses contactor in lieu of solenoid Cons: Slow
Warn Zeon 8: $699. Pro's: slightly faster, sealed housing, looks cool Cons: cost more $
Warn 9.5xp USED: $600 Pro's: fast, proven Cons: buying used...
Warn 9.5ti USED: $600 Pro's: very fast, proven Cons: buying used....
What are yall opinions? I think I have ruled out the Zeon because the cost(compared to the M8000). I think the 9.5ti is the best winch in the group but im nervous buying used. Is there a better bang for you buck winch out there i should be looking at?
I don't know what the xp or ti are, but why not a warn regular 9500? Its got to be one of the most popular ones out there used.
I'd look for that first, and the m8000 last. I've though for a while that the m8000 is a chinese winch with a warn disguise.
I put the XRC8 on mine a couple days ago, haven't gotten to use it yet though. $274.99 shipped from Quadratec. I called and they waived the $20 freight charge.
Used Warn over any cheap **** hands down. Have you ever handled a Warn? They are just built better in every way.
Warn. You will be more pissed about a broken winch. It is just money f it.
Well the 9.5ti is out. I talked to he guy and he has someone coming to pick it up Monday. He said first come first serve, but he is located outside of San Antonio......
I'm going to keep looking for used winches to try and find a good deal. I may check on the xp and see if it is still available.
EDIT: I just talked to the guy selling the 9.5XP. I am going to meet him Sunday and will probably buy it for $500. From what he said, the winch has only been used a few times. It's a $1,200. winch new so this seem like a good deal.
if you are interested in a 12k warn i have one that is missing solenoid pack and controller but I will let it go for $250, located just north of galleria in houston
