hi all, im going to buy a winch for my defender 90, i have no idea of what is a good make or what sort i would need, and would i need to buy a winch bumper too. i dont go off roading or anything, so its only for if i get stuck whilst out shooting.

 

cheers, Lee

As said above Warn are as good as you'll get, they're expensive but worth it !

 

Goodwinch used to do a range of winches called the Goldfish or TDS - I used to have 1 fitted in a home made winch box in the rear cross member of my V8 90 Defender it stood up to a lot of use & abuse - I had a Warn XP up front.

 

If you intend to ever rely on don't buy a cheap one

iv been looking at the winch in a box, is it powerfull enought though, its only 4000lb, ofter doing some reading they recomend a pull of 50% more than the weight of your vehicle, so at around 3000kg were looking at a pull of about 6600lb. i think?

Is it possible to get a winch which can mount onto a vehicle towbar?



PS while looking around I found this which looks like the best deal i could find...
