Which Winch?

[hekarewe]

having purchased my GU III late last year i thought i would buy my first winch to go it along with all the other mods i had ordered at the time,,, my choice ended being the new 9500lb XP 6.9hp winch which went with the ARB bar. first time i used it was in sand where the patrol with a 1.5 tonne camper attachedf had buried itself going up a sand hill at stockton beach ran the winch out to the start of the last layer of cable and winch extention and using a single line pull,,, (only way to reach the other vehicle) skull draged both patrol and trailer up the dune success!!! since then i have self recovered myself and other many times and it only failed once due to an error on installation by ARB Penrith, installed it with the drian hole for the electric motor bloked. failure happened at beerburrim SF when trying to recover a landbarge from an ugly position on a rock shelf.... electric motor fried itself because over the months none of the water n mud had been unable to drain from it. ARB came to the party without any argument and replaced the electric motor FOC

Soooooo yes the warn winch cost me more,,, but the warrenty and aftermarket back up was well worth it as is the readily available spare part are all well worth the extra cost and peace of mind.
