Cap-It hidden winch

[PDX_Keith]

I took a chance over the weekend and purchased this during their boxing day sale. $2k delivered. Hard to beat. I feel like I may be a beta tester in the US but the people there were quite pleasant and helpful when I asked them questions. Being local to the PNW I've always supported Warn, so this is a good fit.

Sharing in case you too are looking for other more cost effective options.

Cheers!

$2k USD shipped is a great deal. This looks like a great setup using a proven winch with standard length of rope. Please let us know how it works out. I’m definitely interested.

Did you contact them for shipping to the US?

Neat, one wonders why if other manufactures can get in a winch with full length rope that Ineos couldn’t.

Homologation, crash testing, etc.

No, the online checkout handled it just fine.

Something tells me the devils in the details that are being left out of those 3 page instructions lol.

I would suggest to anyone installing this winch kit that they watch the install video for the kit from GP Factor.

Interesting that the winch is mounted backwards

It solves the height issue with the grill. Its how installed the un clockable cheapie winch in the back of my lx470 so I could reach under and get the freespool handle. There really is no “top” to a planetary winch as far as I know… if there was I never killed one. The 8274 style on the other hand.

The GP factor is like almost twice that, right? What is the difference? Brand of whinch, but what else?

The LFD center section is about a grand. You can buy whatever winch you want for that one. No, it’s not a hidden winch, but there are only operational disadvantages to hidden winches. Having winched extensively, every once in a while when your focus is elsewhere, synth line goes all sort of “charlie brown kite tree”. I want easy access to the drum.

For those not in the know:

Looks like they increased the price by $500 CAD .

@PDX_Keith have you had a chance to try it out yet?

 

[PDX_Keith]

I purchased it during boxing day sale. That probably explains the delta.

Does that capit kit include the winch? Our kit is $3400 which includes the come up seal slim 12k s winch. Domestically in the US shipping is free as well.

 

[archerwolf]

Yes the Cap-It includes the Warn VR EVO 12k

 

[PDX_Keith]

Yes, the Warn VR EVO 12k is included and I received free shipping.
