You guys might want to take a look at post #26 of this thread. ex670c, better known as Arka, has been using Chinese 12,000lbs winches for awhile. PM him and get his opinion of their quality. Warn is good but you are paying for a brand name. Ramsey and SuperWinch are just as good, IMHO.

Hi Hrishikesh,

Good one!! Where did you find that winch? Can you pls give some details like - make,price,source to buy, any additional fitment required,etc.

BTW Where do you stay in Kolhapur? I am restoring my 550 in Kolhapur only. Why dont you start new thread for your 540 restoration :thumbs up with all pics. All the best.

Tarkesh

hi
iam collecting some pictures so i can make a good new thread , today i clicked a few . anyways where are you working on the 550 let me know so i can get an update.
and for the winch does any one know VICK ( Banglore , Mysore ) hes a totall and i believe the most hardcore 4x4 addict he gave me one, he owns a beautiful cj... and he helps me with the parts i need for my 4x4 .
regards
Hrishikesh

Guys

Has anyone here heard of Britpart winches? I've been looking to buy one and came across a 9500 lbs Winch for 300 pounds (about Rs.18-19k?). I have a lot of Britpart bits on my Defender, but most of them are exterior bits like bashplates and rock-sliders. I dont know how their 'moving' parts are.

Steeroid,

Thanks. I've already posted queries on LR4x4 and some other forums. More the merrier.

Harjeev, can you pls post a picture of the Rumba winch which your friend bought.

TBHP is full of surprises, aint it?

xtreme_power please PM me.

lol: Will a dealer tell you the negatives of the product they sell ?
I guess xtreme_power will give you the full low down. Keep us informed how you get on with your search for a Winch.

The Lambda one does not appear to have a good finish. The chinese winches appear to be copies of the Warn M8000 and I am not 100% sold on the quality of Chinese products.
