Which Winch??

[Jacko]

On the lookout for a winch to suit an 80 series landcruiser... kinda just waiting for something decent to come up on trade me....

looking at the following at the moment, any recomendations...??

Runva EWX 12000 new
Warn M12000 2nd hand http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =233716738

Yep I'm on the lookout for one for the Prado (1993). Been told by the fellow at Autokraft that a 9500lb come-up winch ($1900) however I see there's a special on the 10000lb Runva winches http://winch.co.nz/specials.html.
Heard good and bad things about the Runva winches, and the likely hood is that it won't get a hell of alot of use. But it'd be good to hear from someone who's had experience with them.

If you really want a Warn M12,000 you'd be better to go new...http://willyfogg.com/search/warn+m12000/ only $400 more!

If you're budget is around 2k I reckon you'd be better off getting something new with a warranty anyway rather than someones seconds. You might be after something a bit bigger but I remember seeing a Superwinch 9500 for around 2k on the net last week. Apparently a good advantage with Superwinch is parts ex Auck rather than overseas.
