Winch for 80 series Landcruiser

[kiwidecal]

Hey guys wondering if you would be able to help me out. My dads birthday is coming up and I was thinking about getting him a winch. So any suggestions on what to get him?

I have seen a few reccomendations for the runva ewx12000. Any other good ones around for that price?



Thanks heaps in advance

got dad one of those for his bday. it replaced his warn xd9000 and he loves it. Obviously more pull but its way more reliable.

There are other brrands out there that may be cheaper/seem a better deal but runvas are a proven brand now and very good value for money.

Ps get some 50 or 75mm power cable for whatever you get. Make them work alot better. And winch motor doesn't get as hot

Ohk cool thanks. Where did you get it from?

[badnuz]

any good auto electrical shop will sell HD battery cable, its not cheap but a very worthwhile upgrade

Is it worth thre $100 for the synthetic cable?

[crazyclark31]

yeh thought so.
Yep defenatly. Soooo much better to work with and to buy rope alone is 250-300buck so is a real good deal.

Awesome thanks!

Cant wait till next year when I can afford to get into 4wding myself! The student income doesn't quite cut the mustard haha.

for the power cable try welding supply shops they may have it cheaper
