I think you can change the motors but i havnt tried myself...

I hear you can also get the motor rewound to make it 12V but I dont know if you want to go down that road
There's gotta be some rocks round here SOMEWHERE!

You can get/make an adaptor to fit a warn style motor to the Toyota winch. There really well built units but the rope comes off the top and not the bottem like all others seem to.

You can put a 12 volt motor off an factory 80 series cruiser low mount on as I have done. Some prado's also had them. You can get factory 12 volt hi mount and they came on very early Prado's.
SWB V6 Paj with one or two mods ;)
