I got a smittybuilt winch on the front of the Patrol.

I bought the Patrol off a mate who put the winch on and used to use it for recoveries, when other people got stuck. He was always the one people rang when they need real help, as he is an ex tow truck driver.

He loved the smittybuilt and it never gave him any trouble. He did some really hard winching, sometimes using three snatch blocks and the winch just kept pulling. It has the second lot of plasma rope on it and it is about nackered. I just bought another 30m of dyneema to fit when I get a chance.

I would say go for it, if it is what your interested in.
