Sky One Touch Or Warn Winch

[Jdub82]

Congrats, and gorgeous gorgeous config! Absolutely phenomenal truck from the factory. I hope you intend on driving it not babying it for a future buyer!

It’s not an FE (they’re not out yet), don’t understand the value in $8000 decals! I don’t like buying things not to use them, Life’s too short! It’s great to have a barn find…for the person who finds it, the kids who sell it, but sad for the person who bought it but never got to enjoy it!

I went factory winch for a variety of reasons:

1. factory safety systems fully integrated with factory winch
2. don't have to deal with the hassle of installing one like I did on my 2021
3. I personally don't like the SOT and prefer the dual top setup I have. The factory hardtop combined with the 2024 sound insulation updates have made it remarkably quiet at highway speeds
4. I wheel regularly and have had to use the win h periodically when my talent ran out offroading ie getting turtled
5. the factory rating of 8k lbs is more then enough for me. if I need more power I'll just do a double line pull with a snatch block

Thank you for the great insight.

This is why I’m leaving towards no SOT.

Thanks!

And it's always in cold nipple mode.

And it's always in cold nipple mode.

Funnily enough in person it's not as pronounced as one would think.

For me it's a non issue and prefer the integrated safety travelling with my two daughters, and this is coming from my perspective of having an AEV front end in my previous Jeep

But I get it's subjective and respect everybody's personal opinion
