I did some pretty extensive shopping for a 9K winch a few months back and wasn't impressed too much by the $1200+ price tag on the Warns either. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these : Titan Offroad recovery equipmentand our new TW series Winches - TW12 (12000LB )WINCH
Search through this guys site, watch the videos etc. Prices are Canadian so a little cheaper when converted to U.S. $$. For the price they seem to be excellent quality. The specs are better than most at an almost budget winch price. $455 delivered at the time or $700w/ alum fairlead & synthetic line. Thats a 12K winch w/ remote and wired controls. I would get one over a MileMarker for sure.
Someone ended up giving me an almost never used 9K warn. Free was the right price so that's the way I went. Good Luck!
I was using the winch for a Samurai not the Excursion. 12K would be best not a 9 or 10K
