The Jimny is a light vehicle. I'd not really want huge weight over the nose if possible. So I'd opt for a lighter winch and synthetic rope.
Maybe something like this: www.winchsystems.co.uk/category/vehicle-.../comeup-dv6-std-drum
Although some people have got on ok with 4500lbs winches that you might find a side by side/UTV.

Personally I'd say it should depend on if you plan on self recovery or wanting to pull others out.I’m looking at getting a winch for my jimny, I have a winch tray already. I’d like something reliable and that can handle water ( or that I can make waterproof). Would like it to be 9,500lb minimum as some of my mates have bigger 4x4s so isn’t just for jimnys. Any ideas?
Cheers

I too will be looking at reciever hitches in both ends and keeping the winch dry. It is a large investment so better kept inside.
And here in Norway I cannot modify the front with anything steel poking out too much.
Going backwards is never better but allmost allways smarter
Going forward is never boring!
