How is the SCA one? I have a 12000lb not SCA but Chinese there all the same virtually. I use it to pull logs out on a towbar mount I made. I have it so I was thinking of mounting it to the front. But I don't know I if id rely on it. Has the SCA one let you down?

Not sure what brand it is. No name brand lol Electric Winch - 9,500lb, 12 Volt, Synthetic Rope - Supercheap Auto
Thus far i have had no issues with it however i have only used it to pull my motor out and put another one in. Yet to use it in the real world.

A lot of stuff comes out of Xerox land and then " insert logo here " so you dont always get what you pay for, even ARB source gear OS as well as many other name brands.

Exactly what i thought of the one i got. My first winch so anything is good compared to the walk of shame. (getting wife and her jackaroo to pull me out)

visit any camp ground now days and you can spot the bogans by looking for the KINGS labels, on the plus side it makes choosing a quiet camp spot a little easier!

To the contrary the awning I have has been through hell and I found it to be a surprisingly good quality. I have managed to bend one of the poles but I blame myself entirely for letting the awning fill up with a huge amount of water at night due to not having enough slope on it... couldn’t believe how much water it held!

So anybody with the full ARB gear should be classified as a " rich Toorak ****** " then! Bit harsh saying there all bogans. I have there awning and winch...kings that is. And I'm no bogan.

I had both awnings up (one either side of the D2a) in a real windy situation and the Kings awning even though it was .5m bigger out performed the ARB awning.
I believe that both the ARB and the Kings awnings are sourced from Aisia But the difference in price os quite significant .
There is nothing "Bogan" or anything wrong with the vast majority of 4WDSuperceap gear and just because something has a ARB label/sticker on it doesnt make it a better bit of kit.

I’m sure you aren’t, don’t worry.

As I said I’m a fan of the gear, I just covered the KINGS logo to distance myself from the campsite hooligans.
