What is a good reliable brand of electric winch that will fit a 99 s10 blazer?

Warn makes a good winch, but they're pricey. I see a lot of guys using Ramsey winches, but I can't vouch for how good they are.

any electric winch will fit the truck.

the bigger question you gotta ask is, how often do you plan on using it?

if it's a once in awhile, grab yourself one of the cheaper ones, it'll survive. if you plan on using this every weekend, then spend the extra & get yourself a Warn.

and get yourself a ****** block for whatever winch you get.

you know you need to get a 9000 lb winch, right?

The warn I have on my ATV has yet to fail me. I had a "superwinch" on an older ATV and really wasn't impressed...
