Pairing Engo Winch with '03 DII ARB

[jeff_wright]

I currently have an ARB on the front of my '03 DII and am looking to pair an Engo winch with it. I know the earlier models for the DII prior to '03 & '04 had issues with the crush cans allowing the bumper to shift. Is this also seen in the later model DII ARB bumpers?

Recommendations on the Engo 9000 vs. 10000 options?

Unless the crush cans are removed I think it could still be a possible issue. A 9000 lb winch should be plenty for a D2. Pick up a snatch block for use with any real difficult pulls

Thanks for the input Howski. If anyone else has additional personal experience it's always appreciated.

Winch in DII

I run an 03/04 ARB on my 00DII, other than cutting about 1 inch off the bottom of the grill, it bolted right up to the crush cans.

Not sure of the dimensions of your Engo, but I had to sell off a Ramsey 9K because it was too wide to fit into the ARB bumper/winch cradle. I installed a MileMarker 9K with no problem. I would look/Google first at comparing dimensions provided by both ARB, and the Engo.
