ok ??

Just an update really i got a 13000lb winch off ebay on an auction for £210 delivered from germany just got to ask my mate to weld the mounting bracket to my car. On them pics was any rear support added for strenthening as someone said id need some? Cheers

Could any of you guys point me in the right direction of a compact, light weight winch that is reasonably priced?

It will be an emergency winch only. I won't be out off roading getting stuck using it to drag me out of 4ft deep mud on a weekly basis. It will only ever be used one in a blue moon (if ever) to say, pull me up a slippy bank side while out hunting.

I'm not fussed if its slow as it will only ever be used as a last resort really. Just don't want a Huge lump on the front of my little jimny.

The cheaper the better. Thanks.

I can understand the 'need' to have a winch even if its hardly ever going to get used. BUT....

It does sound like you could be better off with a Tirfor hand winch or maybe even a Hilift jack and some recovery gear?? Just could be a cheaper option.

If you want a winch go on ebay and just either search winches or search jws shop thats the shop i got my 13000lb winch from it cos around £210 delivered from germany and got it in about a week not managed to mount it yet though that should be happening this weekend with any luck:) hope this helps:) also you will need a minimum of 4000kg dead pull for incase you get stuck (according to a winch website)
