The adventurado now has a 9500 pound winch, this should fit my needs for overlanding. I don't get super serious and I also have other recovery methods. Has anyone else used the 3rd generation of smittybilt winches yet?

Be sure to get some Traction mats and remember to use a towel on your line if you make a pull so to trap the cable in it if it snaps or a slip off a hook. The Aussies did a great film showing what can happen if something fails during a pull....Like snapping a couple of 3/4 plywood cut outs shaped like parents and kids , very sobering...
