I have a Runva 12000lb winch on the ARB deluxe. I was concern about it fitting in, but no probs at all.

A slight modification was needed to the opening where the rope comes out of the bar to suit the fairlead they supplied.
It had to be made slightly bigger cos the fairlead was offset.

This is what I was winching out of, wasn't sure how well it would perform, with BA's help it worked hard without raising a sweat.
RUNVA was suggested by a fair few guys and thats what I went with.
I am actually not sure but a few I have spoken to swear by the early ones and I have seen one perform again and again with no problems at all...
I have the later series and know of a few issues with mine and others I have used and dont have that real faith in it..
There is a hill not far from where we were all playing last weekend and we had to winch a dozen times to get me up and I would be concerned my winch could not do it.. Irish hated me for it as he was my winch bitch.
The winch I had then was a chinese winch that came with the car when I bought it but after this it had to go.
Irish gave me the dirtiest look at one stage like "What the f$ŁK were you thinking "...... it was so slippery.

KPD in Somerville are Runva dealers also and very good customer service there.
According to the Runva site the 11XP was designed around fitting into the standard GU bar.... Also just happens to fit into all the other standard low mount bolt pattern cradles...
Have moved this thread out of the help section and into 4x4 Safety

I've heard there's people just giving them away for free these days...
LOL@ that pic BA, that hill sucked, was greasier than a used car salesman. Add to that your winch running on for a few seconds after you released the button each time and Jim being simply the WORST winch runner on planet earth.
I had all the rage, hahaha.
I must have got a special Tigerz winch because mine is brilliant, lol. Bit stiff to free spool, but these guns aren't just for show baby! It's never let me down, love it to bits.
I vote Runva too
