I was as well. If using a bigger brand (Warn) you can get away with a 9500 lb on a Patrol. As suggested above go for the bigger Iron Man. I would suggest the 12000 lb.
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

I was at a recent ARB family day and the Chap from Bushranger products was there. (http://www.bushranger.com.au/vehicle...ry_winches.php) His best price on the 9000lb was only a hundred bucks of the online price. I have been looking around for a suitable one for the '01 GU and see that the Ironman seem to be popular. We have the factory bar which mentions "use only Warn XD 9000", though I was never any good with being told what to do.
.
Has anyone got onto these Bushranger winches?

'01 GU now has roof rack and tow points, it's a start at least.
The lessons learned the hard way really do make your heart race.

I have sold quite a few Ironman winches & only had i fail & that was one of the early models that weren't sealed.
I can knock off $100 on the price
Cheers

Everyone makes mistakes, the trick is to make them when no-one is looking.

I was at my local ARB store last weekend, the fella there said the new bushranger winches were cheaper, just as good as warn and came with closed solinoids meaning you can breath easier when your crossing deep water. Not so many moving parts from what I understand (correct me if im wrong lol) so they are a more tighter sealed unit.

That's what I was actually originally going to get, to bolt into my tjm bar..
How do you find yours mate? I reckon that they would both be a good option and both are known for being a strong unit..
The other winch I have heard many good reports about is the avenger mako
