You should consider a beefier winch... 12,000 isn't quite enough for the X. Remember, that that 12,000 lb rating is only at the beginning of the drum wrap..it decreases as more wire or rope winds on the drum. Also, if you are on an inlcine or stuck, the actually weight that the winch is trying to pull ramps up significantly. I would suggest a 15,000 minimum as well as a ****** block setup.

I have a Titan 16,800 lb on the front of mine and will give you the web addy (Canadian) if you want to look at one for yourself. With the dyneema synthetic rope it was under $1000 CDN.
