Has anyone got any feedback on the 4WD Supa store winches ? The Domin8r 12,000lb or Grande mk111 12,000lb ?

I have been looking at these winches myself and there prices seem quite good im yet to here any real world experience from anyone and would be interested too to see what people think and rate theses winches too.
I have always been a WARN winch guy on all my other 4x4s but as funds are low atm and in need of a winch will definitely be looking at these winches if all reports turn out good

I know of 2 failures..
First one was fitted and filled with water..
Never got used and when he needed it it didn't work..
He called it a fish tank..

And my brother got 3-4 uses from his before the motor stopped..

Both now running runva and no issues..

I've got a tigerz11 12000lb winch, think it's what they call the "grande" winch now.

Have had it for years, never let me down. I think it's due a rebuild now as it started making funny noises at the end of a day of winching trees off a driveway for a mate.

Yeah thanks , I did a bit of research last night & found totally mixed reviews , I've had the Patrol for nearly 12 mths & while we do a fair bit of 4WDing it's usually with our five kids in the car so I don't get to extreme or put myself in the situation were I'll need one , I don't intend on using it every weekend so can't justify the outlay for a new Warn etc , I know you only get what you pay for though . Saw a lot of positives about the Runva too thanks Kallen .

Yeah the Runva was the other winch I was thinking of, but couldn't remember the name at the time you asked me, thats probably a better choice Adam.

Thanks Mark 👍🏼

Another +1 for the Runva. I've got an 11xp and it works well. Has done some hard and long pulls with no issues.

Aldi winches got a good wrap as well.
With some of these "cheaper "winches it might be better if you you
pulled them apart and re-greased everything, for peace of mind,
I run a Warn XP9.5 but only used it a few times,,,,works a treat IMO
You could even put an air pressure fitting to keep the water out
during river crossings, @MudRunnerTD may have done that to
one of his winches??

My brother's got the Domin8r on his 80 series and has used it a number of times and hasn't had any issues with it. I am personally overly cautious about buying anything from Supercentre - whilst there are plenty of positive reviews there are a number of negative reviews as well, and overall the customer service is useless.

I personally have a Runva 11xp (similar to a few guys on here) and am more than happy with it. Whilst it's certainly not a fast winch, for the price point and the few times a year that I may need to call on it, it certainly does the job.

If you end up buying the Runva and when you get around installing it, have a look at my build thread or feel free to send me a message - there's a few tricks to installing them, but generally very straight forward.
