Hey mate, I was checking out the specs and the 9500q has a bigger motor in it. Not sure how that works. It is geared lower I am thinking but smaller motor. Doesn't make much sense to me.
9500 is plenty mate....
Hi Covo71,
The Runva EWX9500-Q should just fit into a standard Nissan steel winch bar.
I had mine installed by Pro4x4 in Adelaide a few weeks ago. Wasn't a lot of room between the motor and the chassis rail, but 2-3mm is all you need.
Now I just need to get out there and bog the car to test it out. Looks like a solid unit and of decent quality.
The warranty is the best around as well which is a bonus.
Cheers mate, sounds good. Wait for the 15th
hi covo71 . the bigger motor with lower gearing makes it faster ( hence _competition winch ) . depending on you situation , faster might mean disaster . a slower winch like the xp11 or ewx1200 would be easier to control in difficult situations ,plus they are stronger 11mm rope instead of 10mm rope . just my 2cw .
So I am going to order a winch today, will the ruva 11xp be fine or get the 12xp?
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Either will be fine
