Yep, same as my GEW 10000 only with different badging.  :wink:
Nice winch and worth the money.



When you fit it, look out for the clutch release lever, I had to take the gearbox off and turn the lever 90 degrees clockwise so it was accessable when the winch was fitted in the bumper.

It's an easy job, just lay everything out in the order it was removed.  :D
Oh, and make sure there is plenty of grease in the gearbox when you put it back together. the only other thing to look out for is the chrome on the roller fairlead, it didn't last that long on mine but I changed it for a alloy one to match the Plasma rope I fitted.  :wink:

TUFFTEE:
Paul! Come to think of it! I had to cut a small section out of my winch bumper to accomadate that clutch lever! I will take a quick pic in the morning so that you can see! Its not a hard task!!

Topple:
I'd spoken to the guys today at winch solutions, they got in touch with the manufacturers a while ago and had the clutch release moved so it doesn't catch on the bumper.

As for being the same as the GEW - they may look it but are not the same inside.  These winches have been used in USA for 8 years or so and have been fully proven over there.
