When it's moving I prefer the B-W too, but once it's stood still I sometimes find having the handbrake only work on the rear wheels a PITA, you can't winch a second vehicle anywhere near as effectively and on one occasion I found it dangerous. The one thing the B-W lacks is a positve lock-up, otherwise it's a far better box in many ways.

Even with a locked LT230, I always have someone with their foot on the brakes to make sure all 4 wheels are locked when winching.
Does the Tomcat kit for the BW change the low range ratio as well as the hi range? It may be an alternative to a pair of new ring and pinions to retain the low range speed with bigger tyres.
