Depends a lot on what you want to use it for - once in a while pull yourself out of a not too sticky situation and it would probably be ok.

Constant challenge use every other week and  you'll possibly be changing it before the first event is finished.


Be aware that these cheap winches are very expensive for spares, other than that........

[extreme90]

that is if you can actualy get parts  :roll:

these have been debated many of time before on here  :roll:

they are ok for occasional use, not getting punnished every weekend

if you want something the punnish and i mean punnish, then save up just 200 quid more and get a superwinch epi9, for the money there are an absolutely brilliant winch and will serve you proud for years

Using a rear winch cross member, hoping to retain the original tank too....but dont forget its now a D-Lander so not quite the same as a 90 as its 100" now :)

sounds good

wouldnt mind seeing some pics of that

[smo]

Piccies coming soon, in fact i ought to make a thread about the build...

[Disco-Ron]

Just bought myself an EP9 today, complete with Plasma....:)

This is to replace the cheap crappy chinese thing that i bought less than a year ago!!

Just buy a decent one and be done with it!!!

[smo]

Where did you get yours Ron...and how much?

[Disco-Ron]

Well, i did a bit of a deal with Peter at Firstfouroffroad, in honiton, i got the winch, plasma yellow hook, wrap around bumper, and new steering gaurd for 818, but the winch and bumper had been on his Disco for a year as a demo, but only used in and out with minimal load, it really is as good as new.,......

[Disco-Ron]

Smart arse!!  i wrote that to explain that the 'winch' had only been used with light load!!!

[Xtremeteam]

just bought a Tmax 9000 to go in the back of my 90 for the tay  :lol:

[CJ]

Hey mikee,  you may find yourself surprised with those Tmax's, weve got a couple of guys using them at Challenge south west events, kitted out with plasma and a albright there real good little winches...

Just watch the freespool leaver as thats their week point, the little bit thats engages/disengages seems to have a habit of snapping when its being used roughly...
