Many of the ones on ebay rated at 120000_130000 are the same winch just rebranded i have the cts one and its a good winch had very good reviews from the green oval bunch
80000lb is enough for a jimny but may strugle moving a bogged down landy out of your way lol

Generally speaking a 9000lb winch is plenty big enough for a Jimny and a smaller one would do. Before you buy a 13000lb winch have a look at the gear ratio. They generally achieve this level of pull by making it extremely low geared. This means its very slow pulling in which may not sound much but can become very irrirtating. Look for a winch that has a ratio of say150;1 to 175:1 and generally it will be fairly quick. The Jimnny is light so it will easily cope and still be quick. I like Superwinch and also Warn but they can be expensive. Both are good quality, or as said above Goldfish from Goodwinch - David Bowyer.
