2004 Jeep Wrangler - Warn 9.5 PowerPlant Air Compressor/Winch Review - Four Wheeler Network
For those who have loaded a Wrangler or CJ with camping gear, tools, and supplies for an extended wheeling journey, you understand the challenges of getting everything you need to fit in the limited space. As one of the most effective recovery tools on the planet, having a winch can be the difference between hiking or driving out of the trail. Although using a winch isn't always part of our wheeling ritual, airing down is. Most wheelers know that dropping the air pressure in their tires is the cheapest and easiest off-road performance mod they can make. While airing down is easy, airing back up to hit the road can be a little more complicated. Going back to the original dilemma of interior space (or lack thereof), the Wrangler and CJ platforms don't exactly have loads of extra room to mount a giant air compressor and tank. One solution for those in the market for a new winch and looking for an air source is the Warn PowerPlant. Offered in a 9,500 and 12,000-pound version, the PowerPlant is the merger of Warn's premium series winches with a compact air compressor. Using the winch as it was intended (self-recovery tool for those "whoops" moments) we found that it pulled our modified LJ with little hesitation. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
