New winch time

[Clunk]

so, you think 11000lb winch is big enoug for the GU ?

Plenty big enough, I've pulled out bogged GUs with no issues

[Throbbinhood]

Yeah 11,000 is fine. If you are that stuck, use a pulley to lighten the load on the winch and components.

I'm another one with a Runva 11XP, so can't really comment on the 3 you've chosen............. but happy with the one I've got, again had not issues with it, although I would say that the hook feels a bit on the cheap side to me - but it's not failed.............. yet. I'll probably replace it soon - the hook that is

winch hooks aren't stamped are they?
they just say its ok, I run a plasma friendly latch lock hook

I had the newer model with the breather. Still managed to fill with water somehow.

why not extend the breather up and out of harms way with a sintered filter on the end
We all modify equipment from brand new to suit or condition

It was long enough. Sat right at the top of the firewall.

one of those fuel filters fitted to it would stop any mud etc getting in

It had one. Water ingress was obviously through winch dealer somewhere else.

I upgraded to a bigger one from TJM. Pretty sure it's stamped, but the real benefit to me was the bigger diameter. It means I can put both ends of a tree trunk protector in with ease, instead of flopping around with it to get it to work, or using a shackle. Just one less thing to go flying in a mishap.

Yes youre right I to have the gold zinc plated hook the larger hook area is certainly a bonus
