LJ79 winch question

[malteser]

Hi guys,

I'd like to install a winch on my LJ79 and am looking at the Superwinch Tiger Shark. Has anyone had any experience with them ?

Also wanted to ask, anyone knows whats a standard LJ79 gross vehicle weight ? (for anyone asking, an LJ79 is the same as an LJ78 but has a 2.8 3L engine instead of the 2.4 2L-T so roughly same weight)... that's for calculating what winch strength I should go for.

Thanks

Im tempted at a superwinch tiger shark as well, the lj79 should be the same as the 78, a 9000lb winch should be plenty, the 12000lb will have the same motor just a lower gearing to make up the extra power but will be slower
