Hey guys
I've read a lot about winches and are undecided which one to get. I travel in remote areas alone, so reliability is a must. So realistically $$$ is not an issue due to the way I travel. I have a ARB Deluxe Bar, dual batteries and upgraded Ultimate Suspension suspension to deal with the weight increase. Which winch do I go? I want dynema rope, possibly a wireless remote and good winch speed. What would you guys recommend

Asked myself the same question a few weeks back mate.

I ended up with a Runva 12000lb from Wolf 4x4 with dyneema cable. Absolutely stoked with it.

Some great posts in here:

I got a 12000lb runva but I'm yet to use it in anger...

The runva looks good. The waterproof control box will help and I do water crossing occasionally. Anyone else had any exp in the these winches

If $$$ arn't a problem then I would consider the hydrolic options :!:

was in costco today and noticed this winch, im not looking for a winch at the moment just thought id share..
yous reckon it would go any good

by **packeteer** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 4:16 +0000

spend a little extra and get something decent, even a tiger winch is not much more

by **Rocket55** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 4:20 +0000

Just think when your $60,000 ute is hanging off the winch on the side of some muddy god forbidden track, it's getting dark and the missus has the shits, I'm guessing the little bit extra doesn't seem like much then.

I just bought a warn Tabor 10k. $1160 for a warn branded winch I couldn't resist. I'll let ya know in 12 months if it works. Haven't used at all yet lol.

by **Richiesupercharged** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 4:57 +0000

I just thought it was a random thing to see a Costco

by **JYELUX** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 5:41 +0000

Are Warn's no good??? ....

Every one going Runva or Avenger, i havnt looked into winches yet but will be soon enough.

by **Alby** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 5:52 +0000

Warn are expensive, that is why they buy the other brands

by **JYELUX** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 5:54 +0000

but are they the best?

by **Alby** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 5:57 +0000

Yes they are regarded as such, there are some other highly regarded brands available in the USA but do not seem to be well represented here

by **Rocket55** on Wed, 30 Jan 2013 6:02 +0000

Think of a Warn like a BMW.... Good but expensive, does what it is supose to do and generally good quality. Are they the best? Is BMW the best?
