I thought you had a bobtailed Range Rover?

Maybe he's too unfit for a Tirfor?

I'll stress again, I always carry a tirfor. I hope I never have to use the fooking thing, but I always carry it!

Do what I do Forget to take the handle!! That way if ya need it yu can get out of having to use it by saying "oh fook I forgot the handle, Oh well I guess we'll have to use your winch afterall"


Though to be fair when I rolled the 90 in cornwall We'd have been ****ed without Trewy's winch and my Tirfor.

Well if ya current one is crap I'll buy it off ya Of course it'll be cheap as it's not really upto the job is it??

In all fairness, the handles make a damn good breaker bar extension too!

My handle is a 4ft length of 25mm Rebar, with a lenth of tubing welded to the bottom where it fits over the tirfor handle. Weighs nearly as much as the tirfor.

Small wonder you leave the damn thing at home then!

Plus side is ya get plenty of leverage with it. and it's great for lifting gates off their hinges when some ****er has locked one across a byway.

I've got a Superwinch husky on my RR.

Its slow, but it will pull a house down and is very very well made. Only down side is that I had to have a bumper made, as the fitment is different to every other winch out there!!

I have a bow motor to fit over Christmas, should speed things up a touch!

 

[chunkymunky]

Got a pair of 4 tonne hand pullers with decent length of aircraft cable. As I dont go extreme for now plenty good enough for getting to at least a grippy area or back out of a ditch hopefully

And I'm still looking for a warn 8274 though

I've had it about a year so far so good but had to replace the brake on it. the moter burned out too but that was more down to me than the kit.

WLM thanks mate will keep an eye on that and the few others I am looking at..
