But they used warn for a fair few years aswell :lol:
Oh & it was 99% 8274's
Mudlark........Just admit it you have lost the argument & 8274 warns are the daddy of all winches

You have an opinion that you haven't proved

the fact that landrover themselves wouldnt fit a a cheap branded winch?
the fact that 90% of those competing at the top level of challange events around the world use warn 8274s with either XP motors (warn) & allbrite solenoids (fitted to SW) :lol:

Capstan winches ?!?!?!?
Best go for a warn winch, or maybe a superwinch. they take loads of abuse and you can get the bits for them if they brake or to service them. (important)
Most people who praise some other makes generally havent used them the ways that the challenge boys do. I just couldnt see a (for example)GEW9000 standing up to some of that grief!
but then again a GEW9000 would be fine for the occasional pull out of trouble, and many people want one just for that.

Any comments on this winch :?:

I would avoid taking that defense, since landrover knowingly fitted lucas electrics to them too :D

Do you really think that's a good point - after all Land-Rover rarely fit anything to their vehicles that stays in one piece or even stays on the vehicle without falling off
I'm off
