Without knowing anything about the terrian tamer winches. If its rated at 9500lb then it will be ample for a Jeep. The 8274 mentioned is a Warn Hi-mount that is only rated at 8000lb.
So if you already have it and dont use or have a need for winch very often. I would wack it on.

I'm with Wooders if your entering comps the 8274 is the go .I have a chinese 10ooolb job it works OK but is V E R Y slow compared to a high mount definately not what you'd want in comps .
And yes the 8274 is on my must get list

Also consider this. It is much easier to sell a brand spanking new winch than it is a second hand one thats only been used once.
If you now your gonna end up getting and using a winch often then ditch it. Scour e-bay constantly and buy a highmount.

For most people it would probably be fine.
But if you want anthing near competition level then you DO want an 8274.
I had a 20 year old 8274 and sold it for an XP9.5 - which is IMHO one of the best low mount winches available.....And I have regretted it since.....

& I HAD an 8274 in my ARB bumper - although it did take a little modification to make it fit
