I have a runva 11xp . never had to use it yet . would be good to hear from someone who has .

[crazyenough]

I am about to pick up a Runva 11xp this weekend, from reading alot of write ups it's a great unit with one of the best warranties.

I have a 2nd hand warn XD9000 which easily cost less than $1k, it worked for a few years not even touching it, till I cooked the motor. My brother and dad installed it for me as I was away at the time and they didn't make sure the drains were at the bottom, and it had been through plenty of NT water crossing and mud holes before that. With clear evidence of water in the motor. I have since rebuilt it with a 6hp motor, with a new drain dremeled in the bottom position, fully painted inside with anti-fungal electric red paint stuff and a breather/airline tapped into it. Once I get my on board air sorted I'll hook up a low psi line to run through the motor when the winch is active.

Looking for a winch myself (now that I'll have a Patrol finally) and Runva seems to be pick of the bunch. Was considering the Tigerz11 Domin8r but reading/hearing too many bad things about Tigerz11 (not the winches though) just other products.

Any recommendations on which Runva:

11XP - $649 (save $300) - http://www.runvawinch.com.au/winches/4wd-electric/11xp/
EWX12000 $699 - http://www.runvawinch.com.au/winches...tric/ewx12000/

or TJMs 9500LB is on special for $999 at the moment (so called save $231)

From what I heard and read from others, they seem to do the job and havent heard bad reports.......... was goin to get their 12000lb winch when it was on special last time for around the $600 mark.
Will either wait until theyre on special again or was gonna contact Mumfords Custom anything offroad on fartbook........ seems hes doing Runva at good prices

I know someone with a Tigerz11 Grande 12,000LB winch Brand new never installed for $400 - Gold Coast area, so might be a bit of a drive

[Mrs Possum]

Will stay away from mr tiger even though the drive would be great

Have one on my GU. Not had to use it isn anger unless you call shifting 800kg bales of hay around in the shed.
Sort of slow and a bit of noise but function well. Only problem the 9000lb comes with a wire rope, but that can be changed.
