my setup: smittybilt 9500 mounted to a front receiver and a winch cradle with welding cable running to the rear for front/rear winching capabilities,3 snatch blocks ,3 d rings and 2 lifting straps for anchoring or tree strapping and definitely look into an air compressor.great for airing back up tires and air bags if you drop your camper as a base camp like i do.i use my winch alot for pulling logs out to the road so i can buck up firewood along the way.duty cycle only matters in extreme situations.sometimes you have to just sit and let them cool down.also the winch cradle is great for mounting off road lights to.edit:all of this is still cheaper than just the warn winch by itself.
