From what I hear, the general rule is you want a winch thats rated twice what your rigs weight is. I beleive the weight listed in the owners manual for a 1991 Trooper is about 3700 pounds, but once you add passengers and gear and such I'm sure its over 4000 lbs. So, is an 8000 pound winch enough? Those of you that have winches, what size did you go with? Thanks, Bryan '91 Trooper 3.4 V6, K&N, 33x12.5 Trxus MT's, Aisin hubs, 3" body lift, Rear ARB Naches Trail Re: Winch question [Re: Storm Trooper] #942992 04/30/09 04:14 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 299 Boise, ID, USA Craig Mudrunner Yes, an 8000 lb winch is enough for your Trooper. If you intend to use it a lot, consider a cordless remote control. Buy a Trooper. You'll be glad you did.
