they look good but i am looking for something between 200 and 300 dollars coz im on apprentice wage at the moment haha

Does anybody know if a 4000lbs winch is good enough to pull my nav out of bogged sand?

 

[gunning1987]

if you double up it should work fine

That winch is made for ATV's not a full size truck. I wouldnt bother with it you'll be wasting your good money.

It wot bolt up to the bar normally due to different size pattern for
Mounts. I'd also hazard a guess at not a long rope on it either??

i wouldn't touch it. 4000lb isn't far off 2000kg. i think you'll find your d22 weighs almost that with nothing in it. you need at least 9000lb, which is around 4500kg. you need to think of the extra force you will need to pull the car out if sand. supercheap occasionally have winches on sale fairly cheap, just keep an eye out for them if you want a cheapish one

I have a 8500lb on mine and is stron enough, wouldn't go under that thou, stay away from tigerz11, absolute shit and no warranty support

 

[bods]

yeah fair call, i wouldn't be going under that though. i forgot a few of the warns are 8500lb. i got a 12000lb supercheap one for mine. i like having the extra capacity in case you are stuck towing something and need to get the whole lot out...

Im gonna go have a look at supercheap auto tomorrow, really appreciate every ones help!!

I have a WARN M8000 on mine, no worries.

Im running a supercheap Rydge Ryder 9500lb winch i picked up for $350. on sale at supercheap. All i have done is run more heavy duty power cables for it as i needed to extend the cables anyway to mount the control box were i wanted it, it has been brilliant, it can do a straight pull but if your doing some heavy work prob best to double the line with a snatch block. I also put a dyneema rope on it i scored cheap on ebay in a late nite auction saving weight ect. all up it owes me $450. and has saved me more times then i care to admit! I see they are trying to flog em for 700 bucks these days, wait untill there on special otherwise your better off with a tigerz11 or something!

 

[charlie strayarc]

Do you have a winch bar?
Have you thought about how it will be mounted yet?

 

[zacb_]

I dont really know much about fourwheel driving and stuff but when i bought my car, it came with a bullbar which is winch compatible, do all winches have different sizes to fit the bullbar or not?

 

[bods]

No mate, the mounting patterns are the same for all of them, generally speaking. Is it a standard Nissan steel bar? If it is a winch will bolt straight in, then you just need to wire it up
