winches

I bought one of these "Heavy Duty" 2000 Lb winches off flea bay and have found it's perfectly adequate on the front of the Jimny!!!






Need this one to extracate the Landrovers though!!

I have a 12000lbs winch its called the cta12000lbs and its a cheap winch costs around £150 new with steelcable on it and it can pull youmout of anything

I like it so far

im planning on getting one soon. but where did you get yours from at that price if you dont mind me asking? I can only find them around the £250+ price.

sully,

having bought both expensive and cheap winches in the past i would say spend good money on one good winch have some clearence 8.5tds goldfish winches delivered for round 400. If you look around any 4x4 forums shops etc. you will be told that these are some of the best electric winches on the market. they are reliable, powerful and fast. plus spares are readily available for them two. there are many upgrades and tricks to do to make them faster two which with a jimny would be uber quick.

hope this help

I have used my rigs with winches many times and have seen
other vehicles got stuck or help unstuck others and in many
cases 8000 or 9500 lbs is more than fine. Most of the problems
actually is lack of battery juice or a small alternator, so
after about 5 minutes of winching your alternator light or
battery indicator lights up. Make sure that your alternator
is rated 80 amps minimum or you have bigger batteries.

Wow i wasnt expecting this much activity with this question thanks everyone!! Dutch jimny where did you find that winch for that price?!? Cheapest i can find that for is £234 on an ebay shop
