  1. Talon X4
I'm new to the Side by Side world and just bought a 2020 Talon 1000x-4 Live valve. I need some advice on a front winch and winch mounting bracket and pro's and con's, I'd rather not break the bank but want something reliable, thanks in advance!

The rule of thumb is 1.5 -2 x's the weight of your machine for the right combination of power vs added bumper weight. I would recommend a Warn with synthetic rope if your budget can support it as they are a little more than some other brands. A winch is something you don't want to skimp on because you don't need it - until you do... And that is the difference between walking or driving out.
