Waiting until after the "Drawing" is a good idea!
8000#'s is plenty of winch for your jeep!
I started out with a 2000lb come along which pulled me out many times! I then upgraded to a 3000lb atv winch that a buddy gave me and it would pull me out if the jeep helped! I then upgraded to the XRC8 Smittybuilt (same winch that's in the drawing). I have had the winch on my rig for about two years and it has pulled me out more times then i can remember and one night it even pulled out a couple of full size dodge pickups.
The point I am trying to make is, if your on a limited budget there are less costly ways to get yourself unstuck if you are only wheeling a few times a year. A comealong and some maunal labor isn't so bad a couple of times a year.
and since your rig is your daily driver, you should come up with a plan to build it to where you want it to be. you have a lot of ways to go, lift, tires, skid plates, body armor, ect..
I started with a lift and drove around on "little" tires for a while, then got the tires before installing some armor and then got a winch.
just some food for thought...
