[meh]

Hey guys
In the market for a winch and come across these

Any one tried these ones yet ? Or should I be the guinea pig ?

Mate,

Seems a bit too cheap for a winch with that capacity.

But who knows could be a great thing.

I'll leave it to someone who knows much more than me to advise you.

i'd be very surprised if it bolted up and fitted a Factory or ARB Bar! great for the back of a TOW TRUCK! IT WILL BE HUGE!

X 2 with MR, plus not much Dyneema short by about 5mtrs imo.
At 50kg its not practicle as a towbar winch unless you go to Gym fulltime
or know Dr Danks lol

im not going to say its good or anything like that but i know that seller backs its products warranty i have purchased a couple of times from them had a problem they sent replacement part out straight away. so id say thats a plus to trying it

I've had two of them pajero and GQ there bloody good and will be getting one for GU as I'm not sure what's going on with the other winch

17000lb is overkill in my Opinion.
Look at warranty, current draw, park, mounting ability + quality etc.

$460 delivered they mounted straight up to my old patrol doctor bar that was set up for a warn warranty with them is good and they are a bloody tuff winch IMO heaps better than tigers and aldi etc I've done a 2.5hr winch pull on it on a steep hill 1hour of that would have been with the car turned off running on starter battery krbrooking was extremely impressed watching it in action I say go for it mate you will be impressed
