New winch for my JKU Recon
I got the ok to get a winch for the Jeep. I grabbed the Badlands Apex 12,000. Now I'm just waiting on better weather to make my kids (10m & 18f) install itLast edited by prariepunk; 03-12-2023 at 11:25 PM.

Re: New winch for my JKU Recon
Does that Badlands have a wire or synthetic rope? I'm thinking of replacing my wire rope with synthetic on my Warn. The synthetic seems safer.
My son installed mine along with a new bumper. It was a total surprise.
Check out the Project Farm YouTube channel. He just reviewed winches a few episodes ago....surprising results and fun to watch.

Ha ha ha, that will be a blast
Badlands winches have always tested well in those comparison videos. I remember some YouTube guy tested them against the big name brands 10 or 12 years ago and they did very good03 rhd tj

I watch Matt's Off Road Recovery and Fab Rats and a bunch of others that use them a LOT more than I will.

That's awesome - wish I had a winch.
There's a Harbor Freight about 15 minutes from my house, and I get stuck on the LED lightbar / Winch aisle all the time.
