WINCHES DISCUSSION, whats the best value for money?

[Royce]

firstly, sorry if this is the wrong spot for this thread, as some of you are aware im new so i apologise.

Gday everyone, ive just spent the last half of my shift reading 4WD Camping magazine, and they have what seems to be a pretty good deal on steel so to speak.

Tigerz11 have a this deal going - 1200lb 12v with 30m dyneema rope

they also have this little bag of goodies as well

im just wondering is this a competitive price and a decent product or is it just cheep because its rubbish?

as i said im new, and some words of wisdom and some advice from the community would be awesome, maybe turn this into an info thread for all winches, not just the Tigerz11 advertised.

i will be mounting it to a XROX bull bar on my 2003 GU series III ST if that makes a difference at all?

Firstly their "Special Price" is their List price mate, they have Never sold that winch as the RRP! Its been on special for as long as i remember them selling it.

2. 4WD Action Own TigerzII and have a vested interest in the product.

3.Have a good search here and all over the Internet about TigerzII as their product and their Customer Service has left allot to be desired over the last 18months

Keep Shopping at this stage.

[Royce]

sweet, ill put the credit card back away and wait for everyone to start weighing in. and then get something that everyone seems to be happy with and good serviceable parts ect.

[Swampy]

No dramas, can I borrow your trailer then! While your there I have heaps of rubbish you can throw in it.

[Swampy]

But of a problem my "gu" isn't going anywhere at the moment, dam electric's

[Royce]

your going off topic...

Can any winch run the dyneema (spectra) line, or is it a case of its spooled with cable so it runs better if its got cable? i ask this because i've seen what wire cables under tension can do when they part, and its really not a pretty site.

[Swampy]

Sorry!!

Any winch can run rope and to be honest that is the way to go, it's lighter to handle, does not kink, it will still do damage if it breaks but compared to wire rope it's a lot safer.

[Irish]

Not every winch can run rope, as far as I know. If the winch brake is in the drum it can be too hot for the rope.

[Royce]

and also how many pound winch should i be running? what does everyone else have?
