No they've gone up. That was the premium, not the price. I was quoted $1580 for the genuine article. Pretty hard to justify that sort of money.

Because you have to weigh that saving up against the risk of voiding your vehicle engine warranty for any fault that could be associated with air intake. The risk is probably low, but is the risk worth taking for a saving of a couple of hundred dollars? I didn't think so, so I got a LR intake.

Re synthetic winch rope, you must use a hawse, rather than a roller, fairlead. If the winch is a Warn, then be mindful that you may void your warranty (if it is under warranty) if you fit a synthetic rope other than a Warn synthetic rope.

Thought long and hard about this, but as far as the potential for damage goes, the quoted wading is depth is pretty restrictive and would allow LR wiggle room if water got in through any intake - theirs or others'.

I am having a very hard time working out how they can charge so much more for their intake. I was off with the $800 premium before. I just checked and it's just on $900 extra.

Interesting note about the Warn rope. I wasn't aware of that. I wonder what reason they give.

This is all they seem to have on the web: Warn Industries - Truck Accessories: Synthetic Winch Rope
