Disco 1 Winch Bumper....Which One..???

(1/9) > >>

Discotel:
Hello all, I am after buying a winch bumper for the old gal, which do you think is better, the tubeular type or the square type..?...I am also after a winch to go with it and wonder about the new ones you see on ebay, there is one that has a 11,000 pound pull, 6HP and wireless remote, its £279 I think...seems cheap...I dont want to pay silly money as its only for my offroader..gota be worth a go dont you think..?

Regards, Terry

I fancy the square type .I dont know I just dont think the tubular ones suit the boxy shape of a Disco

Budgie:
It's all really down to personal choice. What do YOU feel would look better on the front of your Disco?
Me, well I've gone for the square tyre one that I got from David Bowyer, it's strong, will last for years, you can Hi-lift off it and I feel it suits the motor.


As for the winch: You get what you pay for.
All the new winches you see for around £300 are made in China and spares are the same price as makes like Warn & Superwinch, if you can get them!!

I had a GEW 10000 (same winch as the Champion C10000G-S, just a different badge) on the Disco for about 2 years. Now don't get me wrong, it was a good winch and pulled well but the paint soon started coming off and the motor gave up the ghost last month and it's not really worked that much. A new motor for it is over £125!


I now have a Warn XD9000 which I know I can get parts for in the UK, the coating is far better on it, the winch is faster than the GEW and overall you can see the difference in quality.  :wink:

If money is no object (and you want the best) get a Devon 4x4 one.

Failing that the Scorpion Racing one is nice and snugg


There are plenty of companys that make cheaper bumpers.
