Runva 9500 Q, no load line speed of 15.3m/min
Even my old warn xd9000 has a line speed of 11.5m/min (paid $1350 for it 10 yrs ago!)

Re: Novawinch
Downside to most of these winches is they are so dam slow with no load. Pull forever though. Pity about the backup from the other brand as on paper the Q seems to be a winner.

Re: 15" vs 16"
265/75 are only a 32x10.5. You need to compare a 255/85 or a 285/75 to a 33x10.5 x15
As mudlva said, it's for brakes and also better road manners (less sidewall to squirm)

About 8:15 the next morning we decided we would hit the road, the traffic was slow just getting onto the motorway but once we were on and across to the inside lane it was flowing pretty well really and we made good time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/glen_nz/North%20Island%20trip/IMG_1534_zp...

What the ranger has over them all is simply refinement and ride quality/handling.

Dual Battery tray I didn't really like the look of anything that you could buy except the ARB one and it was too expensive so I made my own.
