    Warn 8000lb. on RRC with an ARB bullbar, for the last 30 years. Has recovered me a few times, others lots more times, has pulled out stumps, and has been used to drag all sorts of things around. I once used it to drag a trailer full of firewood 50m. up the side of a hill. It's always performed faultlessly. I mounted the solenoid pack under the bonnet.

    Personally I have a Tirfor --> incentive not to get stuck, winches in any direction, really not that bad to use. Also when not required it doesn't add fat to my already very heavy vehicle.

    My jeepnik mate has an old warn 9000 which has been through hell and back multiple times and just keeps on winching.

    According to Les Hiddins, that's because they came with ETC, like a winch on every wheel!

    What ever brand you settle on make sure you get rope, sooooo much nicer to use than cable much much lighter too.

    But not as tolerant to harsh use.

    Yes fair call, you do have to take a bit more care off rope.

    Warn 9000, is about 15 years old. So far no problems. Had it serviced once only because I had to take the bull bar off for other reasons.

    My 18 year old Warn XD9000i (bridge model) as fitted to my first 90 is still going strong back in the old country. Now mounted on some obscure Japanese ute, but want can you do...

    In the UK I did some competitive work with the the "King One" TDS 9.5 (sold in Australia as the Mako Avenger) as they offered me a free one for sponsorship. Add to that the "Gold Fish" waterproofing and power-up conversion from Goodwinch and you've possibly got one of the best winches for price in the world. Spectacular linespeed (almost as fast as a high mount) and pulling power to spare.

    Saying that though, my current one is the standard Warn XD9000 which I got bulk order discount on from the local Opposite Lock store. However with the Puma's offroad ability its mostly an ornament on the bulbar. 95% of the times its been used has been to fish other marques out the mud.

    Cheers,

    Lou
