Reality check
SnakeLogic:
While I'd LIKE to get a fancy winch bumper and shiny new WARN Powerplant, we're expecting our first baby early next year, so I'd feel less than fully responsible spending my money like that. Also, I only go off road maybe twice a month.
So my question is, could I make do with a couple sets of Jate rings, a Hi Jack and a Tirfor? I don't do competitions, so I don't really NEED top end gear. How versatile is my suggested set-up? Is the Tirfor really worth the extra money over the cost of, say, the Famous Four hand winch?
Any thoughts?

More responsible would be always have someone else with you... and remember... the high lift can be used as a winch in it's own right. If you have one already it saves the cost of an admitadly brilliant Tirfor.

Skibum,
I agree wholeheartedly, but in some cases (one of the places I have to go for work) I have to go alone. Also, even on play days, the guys I go with all drive Samurais, and might not have enough oomph to pull me clear.

Tie two together!! :mrgreen:
You could go for one of the cheaper winches like Champion, KEW/GEW, T-Max or even Bearmach are doing winches at reasonable prices now. :wink:
Over here they are sold for around £300-£400 and T-Max are made in Oz so you should be able to get them with no problems.
