The only way I can see them making sense is if you're one of the people who leaves a truck completely 100% stock and wants some out of the weather storage.
Why would you leave a vehicle stock?
Can confirm that breaking a captive nut loose is bad.
I broke the front passenger one by hand (made me mad, and feel strong), and it added several hours to the job.
The S&B mounts are great. A buddy of mine got Amazon silicone ones, mine are definitely better than his.
Honestly...
The one you enjoy looking at or sitting in.
All of them make a model that's plenty capable off-road.
But if you don't like sitting in it, or looking at it over a campfire, you won't be happy.
I can replace my winch a few times before buying the first Warn. And another one for the price of a rebuild.
Dad and I have 3, all have been used past rated weight and WAAAYYY past duty cycle... No issues.
I'm alone 90% plus of my driving in my truck. I won't own anything but a 4 door.
Accessible storage.
Stuff happens, I've carried people off a mountain before.
Install is pretty straightforward.
It seems intimidating, but is really pretty simple.
Don't stress, don't use an impact to tighten them, torque them carefully.
