Default Winch for Renegade 500???

I was wondering if you have to buy the winch that is designed for the renegade or if you can get a bigger one?

Mounting plates are designed for the particular ATV,any winch you care to buy after that is up to you.

i talked to my dealer and he said to put any other winches on the renegade you would have to drill different holes for it to fit. so i just got the 1500 one thats made for the renegade

hows that winch doing? The dealer told me not to get that one. They said it barely picked up a snow blade on one and said it wouldn't help me if i did get stuck! How's that for honesty from a dealer lol. Have wanted a winch for mine too, but didn't want to have to do any major mods to get one mounted.

For the Renegade you need a Warn #71881 winch mount from an Outlander, not every Outlander Winch mount will work but this one bolts right up.
I bought a Warn XT15 winch ( hope its strong enough )
UPDATE: THE WINCH IS STONG ENOUGH!

There are some mods that you have to do to make this work.
The Fairlead needs to be mounted to the front bumper
You also need to make a bracket for the front-plastic support to the bumper. (The Factory bracket needs to be removed to make room for the winch)

I have the winch mounted I still need to make a front-plastic support

I used the XT15 Winch and it pulls fine. I wanted the lighter weight.
You can use a xt25 or xt30 with the Warn #71881 mount.
Good luck trying to get the factory bracket without the winch.

Should have no trouble lifting the plow with my XT15 winch.
I just need to find a way to install the plow mount and keep the Ricochet skid plate on. Will post results in a week or so.

The Warn XT15 and XT25 have the same mounting holes

Thanks again Mikey

I think I'll check back into the XT15 based on your review.
