    5000lb winch big enough?

    I want to use this as a detachable winch, but will it be big enough to pull the Disco out/over/etc?

    Don't even consider it, way too small and not fit for purpose. Put that money towards a proven brand 4WD winch or a Tirfor if you want a detachable one.

    Hi,

    Definitely not fit for purpose.

    If portability is the key requirement, go for a tirfor or similar and some quality recovery kit like snatch blocks and stuff...

    Cheers,

    just look for a second hand winch such as this

    Super Winch X 9 Suit ALL 4 X 4 9000lb in Brisbane, QLD | eBay

    and then put it in something like this

    T REX Winch Mount Plate Bullbar Cradle Mounting 4WD 4x4 Jeep Truck Trailer | eBay

    I had a mate in the UK who reinforced the front and put a hayman tow hitch to the front and he just moved the winch front or back depending on where he wanted to pull
