My DIY fitting of a Runva EWX1200 winch to a Nissan Patrol Genuine Bullbar

[sooty_10]

Glad you enjoyed it sooty-10. I believe that the Runva is a sealed unit as lucus30 has pointed out. Runvas main concern forwarded on to me when I was fitting it upside down was that I didn't change the direction of the winch rope. Apparently that is important.

Sweet I assumed you had it covered

The low mounts have an internal drum brake which activates when the drum is trying to go the wrong way. So if you had the rope direction wrong it possibly would be trying to work against the brake and cause excessive heat/wear and also you would have no drum brake when needed.
