LDR 29 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm thinking of fitting a winch to my trooper, does anyone have any experience of this like what type to go for, how much are they to get put on and if its even worth doing??? I know it'd come in handy for work and pulling trees and the like, but what about everything else....worth it or not??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spiderpig 39 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ive used myn on landcruiser lots to pull other lamping teams out!!! easy to fit but even easier if you get a winch bumper try looking on flea bay for one then just get it welded on.winches are cheap now plusif you double up the rope it doubles the pull.

Guest joe ox Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Unless your going to use it regular its an expensive toy what will cost about £600 at the cheapest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest joe ox Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Spiderpig what do you mean when you say "double the rope" ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spiderpig 39 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 put it round something on a snap pulley and attatch the hook back onto the winch jeep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
