Hey mate, I'm part the way through. Winch cradle itself is mounted - easier enough, just had to rotate the gearbox and install it upside down so that the clutch handle was clear and the rope was feeding out from the top. Still have to get longer bolts to mount the fair lead up properly.
Currently stalled in trying to mount the solenoid, because the winch cradle mounts vertically to the bar the normal mounting points wont work and require you to fabricate up a bracket. Due to the way my bar and grill sit, there is very little clearance to get access to the control box and clutch so its a bit fiddly
Other than that, (which I guess are issues to be expected when buying a lower cost winch designed to fit up to a heap of vehicles and bars), I'm generally impressed with the Runva 11XP!
I might get shot for this as it's not Patrol related! But I bought a snorkel for my Zooki today! Woot!10819022_10152536527578061_785211366_n.jpg

It's a soderfors (from what I can make) 131 pound no.3 anvil.
Pick it up from the old workshop which has sadly been sold with the land.
And today picked up a drill and 150mm bench grinder. For $150..

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
