Reviews: Warn 9.5CTI-S Self-Recovery Winch

I use this winch for recovery of my Jeep Rubicon along with my friends Jeeps. I have also used this winch for recovery of vehicles that end up in the ditch in the winter. The things that I like about this winch is that it has a GREAT line speed, lightweight, great outer finish, extra long synthetic line, low AMP draw. Some things that I was not thrilled about was the oversized hawse fairlead, how expensive it ended up being, and how short the cables are from the winch to battery. The problem with my cables that came with my winch was that they could not reach my battery the way that I wanted to route them. The only option that I had was to go over the top of the battery which I was not going to do. So i had to order an extension wire kit from Warn in order to do it right. I believe that this is a problem with 12' and newer because of the new placement of the battery and the new batteries that are found in newer JKs.

This is my 3rd warn winch I have owned in my years of off-Roading. I had no complaints from any but I love this 9.5 on my 2011 JKU, I trail guide and wheel each week at our Off road park and use my winch almost every trip to get other Jeeps over an obstacle and am alwayes pleased with the fast line speed and continues pulling power without fail despite very Heavy use! Thanks Warn for a Tough Reliable winch I know I can depend on every time!!
