No doubt a good winch. But for that kind of money I would choose a 9500c tds from goodwinch. Proven, reliable and a good range of add-ons, like bigger motors (bow-motor 1-2-3), free spool kit, bigger drums etc.

Nezzy55 - a winch like that will be very slow. It's very low geared whereas the Goodwinch will be much quicker. Might not seem important but its gets very irritating waiting for it to wind in, particularly if its raining!

Fantastic build, I'm watching with great interest. :)

I had no idea What Dyneema rope was so I searched and found this.

I can honestly say I never would have thought I could get excited & drool over an engine & chassis.
Not only do you have my utmost respect, but seeing your outstanding efforts must give encouragement to others contemplating a rebuild.
I also applaud you for sharing the photos along the way definitely gets a thumbs form me ......... ;)
