Funny, I have like 3 of the little 2500# units, served me, 1-2 still new.
I have a superwinch (syn) 4500# I was going to put in a Samurai build and an off brand 5k here too. That is probably going in the sons Sonoma (3k truck) with syn line I have laying around.
The HF 12k just pulled the Sub back onto the flatbed with no issues but we had to rewind the line. I have kept a small solar panel on both the Sub and the trailer and neither battery has let me down yet.
It was my 12k HF that got me out of this.
If you look in the back you can see the pumpkin hole. I was on the frame rails and going down.
Once o got here I could breath again as it was on a bit more form ground.

Good report! From what I have played with, that Badlands winch is very good for the $$$$

Just to close out this thread and put the subject to bed, I sold the Suburban to a cool young family who plans to use it for the adventures I built it for.
Best of luck and a prayer for smooth sailing for that family going forward
Building the Suburban was a lot of fun for me. I enjoyed using it down at my farm and hauling my dogs around. My wife sort of liked it, but constantly complained of the exhaust smelling like, well, gas fumes. She said it made her sick and at the end, had refused to ever ride in it again. After that, I suppose the Burb's days were numbered.
It's gone, I enjoyed it, and it continues to live with a new owner...

I like the idea of a coated bumper, need a good base though. Epoxy primer?
Heard good things abou tthe X Bull winches, but I agree I think only a few companies make em and they are branded from there.
I got a HF on the Sub, works great so far. I got a Vevor for the trailer, but may save that for another use since it has the syn cable, steel is fine for the trailer.
Like you, I seem to have extra winches sitting around. I have a 10K Superwinch which has been collecting dust for nearly 10 years. I was thinking of mounting it in the dump trailer to allow me to winch stuff up on it, but then I thought I'd buy another utility trailer and bolt the winch onto that... It's there if I need it, I guess.
