Winches!!
« on: July 30, 2008, 10:48:02 AM »
Following the near miss at the weekend I have been looking more into putting a winch on the front of the ZJ. I would appreciate your views and suggestions/recommendations for an appropriate unit.

I am going the electric route with plasma rope and it will be occasional use (hopefully). I would also like to keep the cost down as far as possible but not where reliability/spare part availability suffers.

WARN every time as far as I'm concerned - mines 20 odd years old now and the only thing wrong is the paint starting to come off the aluminium gearbox casing.
Get a low profile unit in the 6000lb to 8000lb range, a roller fairlead and a good snatch block to double up with and then you'll be hot to trot.
Bury the winch behind a decent bumper and make sure that all your winch points have a safety factor of 4 or greater on them.

Warns are good, but I'd recommend Superwinch.

Click ----> Goodwinch and choose Superwinch Catalogue from the left hand menu.

If you were to buy, I'd use These guys
