Are you planning on winching your truck on a regular basis or is this just for once a year kinda stuff? Also, what kind of grille guard did you buy, as the aires and such cant support a winch pulling the truck out....

If it is a look/once a year deal you would be fine with a mile marker (or possibly even a harbor freight) but of course if you are wanting a sure enough winch that will last forever look at warn...You can get a 10,000lb for $500ish

Actually the new new line of winches that Harbor Freight carries now are rated very well... wireless remotes, etc. do some research, but I believe they are rated in the top 2 or 3.

I actually read an article along the lines of that on one of the dodge forums. It had the Harbor Freight pretty high up there.
