Re: chinese winches verdict please
I was very close to buying a chinese winch but desided to wait for little longer and get a good one.Trade me is a good place to watch for them,I ended up getting a brand new Warn 9000 for $1200,only about $400 more than a chinese one.My opinion is when it comes to winches you do get what you pay for.

Trade me has them,just brought one for my lux,auto gauge $130 with all the fittings,works perfectly.Tap it into the manifold before the turbo for the best reading.If the needle gets to 600c lift off!
