Thread: Tigerz11 12,000 vs Warn High-mount on D2

The setup you've got there is in my opinion perfect.

If you are going to do competitions and you're going to winch 20 times in the same day and against the clock, it might be worth butchering the front of the car to fit the Warn. Recreational/occasional off-roaders (as I would class myself) needs a winch maybe a half dozen times a year, if that. For that amount of winch usage, the integrity of your airbag system is most probably more important and a quick check on the winch prior to setting off for the day will give you piece of mind that it'll work if you need it.

There is a lot of "checkbook sportsmen" out there that love spending money to look the part and I always smile to myself when you see a 4x4 lineup on a day out and spotting the name brand winches without the wire rope even being bedded in and not a scratch on the fairhead!

As always, remains your choice...

Is this the same roverfan who isn't even sure if he has bought the right vehicle ? ? ?

I'm really happy with the Tigerz, more so with the job I did getting it to fit w/out needing engineering. On pure pulling power it out pulled my fathers 8HP hi-mount. But did pull more current and was slower.

Only looking at the warn as it would get further modded (2 x 8HP's) etc. But then I can do a lot more that I need to and afford to do if I sell the Warn.

Stay with what you have,it is already fitted and all the hard work is done.The winch you have,you are happy with its performance for your application.Fitting the Warn,just for the sake of fitting it,and saying that you have a Warn is superfluous to your needs in my opinion.
The winch you have,already out pulls the Warn,so why go in retrograde motion?The Warn may be quicker,but unless you are in a competition,then the few extra seconds it takes isn't going to make a lot of difference in real world scenarios.
You could probably sell the Warn,and buy another new winch the same as you have and buy new Dynamica rope and winch extension and still have money for other toys.
