What winch to choose for miy Land Cruiser 80

[Boddah]

Hello,

I've started to prepare my 80's Series Land Cruiser for a RTW trip I am planning and I am now trying to decide on what winch to put on it. The guys who are helping me with the car gave me 3 options, but I am also open to other ideas:

- SuperWinch TS9500
- SuperWinch TS11500
- Warn Tabor 10000

What are your opinions on these three models and which one (if any) would you recommend? Do you have other winches in mind?

I probably won't use it very often, by the way, and speed will not be an issue. So, basically, I am looking for something easy to use and mantain and reliable to get me out of a jam, not some top of the line tool to throw my money away on

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,

Alex

On the recommendation of my mechanic, who has used and abused one for years, I went for a winchmax 13000 for my 60 series. The price is remarkable, yet they seem to be very well made with a full spares backup, in the unlikely event you might need spares, which he never has. It isn't the fastest winch on the market, he has used it on challenge events and struggled with the speed compared to other competitors, but like you that's not an issue for me. I just needed reliability and a good price.

Thanks for your input

Actually, I think the first question I should have asked is: do I really need a winch? What is you experience in this matter? Do you have winches on your 4x4s? How often did you have to use them while overlanding?

where are you planning to travel and will you be a solo vehicle, I thinks these are 2 things to consider, a winch will be no good if you have nothing to winch off

I don't have a winch but have only done 3 trips to Morocco twice with other vehicles so a winch wasn't necessary
