winch
Bob696:
What sort of pull should I be looking at for. Infrequent use and not bothered about speed just to have it there if I need it.
(I know this has been covered before but I cant find the thread)
davidlandy:
As well as those unbranded winches on the marlet that you can pick up for around £300 those Tmax winches seem to be good value for your £
Jason and Sam have bought the KEW9000 (9000lbs) unbranded winches for a special show deal at £270 each - they have been ok aside from a sticky clutch lever.
the weight you should look for should be around 8500lbs+, there is a calulation which is 1.5 times the gross weight of your car I think.
Bob696:
cheers Dave.
Saw a 7200lb winch going cheapish, guess it might do for a Jimny :-)

Keep your eyes on eBay, things like this can be found, with all the kit with the winch, then you only need a bumper! :wink:
There was a KEW8000 on there tonight that noone bid on it could have been got for £250!
I've got a GEW10000 that I got off eBay last year, arrived in a couple of days and not had any problems with it. Like you Bob, I only want it there for when it's needed, I'm not out every weekend doing winch challenge events so £320 worth was good enough for me. :D

Goes without saying the link is to a 24volt model, make sure yours is a 12v version (presuming yours is a 12v model) :wink:
