Do you wheel where you may submerge your bumper? Think if you get stuck it pretty deep water and need your winch... Do you hope your non waterproof one will still work or do you want one that will work??

FYI,
I just sent a an email to the mfg to clarity the warranty on the Rugged Ridge winches. I've found 2 different warranty periods mentioned and i want to make sure you guys are getting the correct info.
