Thread: SuperCheap electric winch

this a ridgerider or other?

They have a pretty good warranty & have never hassled me over the (very few) returns I have made with other stuff. Presuming the quality is the same as a few years ago - they sell them every 12 months- you will have no problems.
I have one that I've never fitted yet, & a mate bought one a few years ago & has given it a real workout. They used to be $399.00
I did strip mine down & re greased it with a quality grease, but this may be overkill.
Hopefully others will reply, but being in Wanted section, maybe not...

The way I look at is that the winch is almost the last line of defense, especially in our case where we travel solo a lot. We go for tried and proven recovery gear The current winch on our Defender has been on 2 previous Defenders and a Series2 Disco. It gets serviced from time to time, and has never missed a beat.

Fitted a Supercheap winch to my D1 about 4 years back and have had no problems

Had a real workout recovering my son's dead Bundera up and over a 4 foot rock step and steep slope - this was about a half hours exercise and winch never missed a beat, only problem was keeping power up to it, ended up with an additional battery jump leaded to the Disco.

Thanks Disclombi

I have bought it and fitted it to my project 300 Tdi in the rain yesterday. Have yet to run the electrics.. need to get the second batter setup sorted.
