    Got to use my new winch to recover a truck today!

    Hi all, I installed the hidden GP factor winch last weekend. Went up to Reno Nevada to visit a friend and we decided to go out on a trail on Saturday. Lovely day, took a few pictures as I was driving (Rayban Meta works awesome for that). A few hours later we are near the paved road and we...

    Rear winch advice needed

    I am thinking of ordering the Red winch rear trailer hitch winch from the UK. Red winches are the Ineos factory integrated winch you would get from the dealer. Long story short, I don’t order the integrated winch, have a great from light bar set up and don’t want to muck with my front bumper...

    Superwinch (Husky) - NOS winch

    I have a NOS Husky 10 that I've been saving... having owned two or three others over 25 years, I have found them to be the most robust and reliable of winches. Yes... probably overkill for the frequency I now use a winch (as opposed to when I was in my 20s), but I nonetheless have an affinity...

    Factory winch rope replacement

    Has anyone replaced the rope on the factory winch rope? Mine got jammed on an angle pull moving a tree, and chewed the rope up. It looks like I could perhaps remove the fairlead to gain sufficient access.... does anyone know if nuts behind the hex bolts are captive?

    Hitch Receiver winch - thoughts?

    I've had several vehicles with winches mounted in the past (front and rear in some cases), but not got one on the IG. I know I could buy a winch bumper, but I don't really see the need to carry all that extra weight around all the time. What are your thoughts on receiver hitch winch mounting...

    I was trying to pull the line out of the winch this morning, the winch will not free spool like some others. The problem is it wouldn’t engage and go back in.

    My Winch regularly stops working. After switching off and on again both overhead 500amp switch and remote it works again. Had this several times with and without load.

    Winch rope

    As we now know, the usable length of winch rope is between 10-12m, and is 11mm diameter. Looking at winch ropes, it is possible to get a 10mm winch rope with a min breaking strength of 10,950kg. This would give a WLL of just above the Grenadier GVM. I wonder how much difference going from...
