The power plant looks great, but you can get a fair bit of change from the purchase price if you buy a hand winch and a viair...
If I was kitting out an extreme off road vehicle it would be great. When I kitted my Defender I put on a winch (Taiwanese but goodish) and only used when I was getting daft in the jungle, and also to rig a flying fox slide from the balcony of our squash court over the club swimming pool with a snatch block as the slide - great fun one christmas eve!
I am not knocking winches, they have their uses but for me a 2nd hand tirfor and a decent compressor would be more versatile as well as less stress on front suspension.
The times I have got vehicles really stuck a tirfor would maybe take longer, but I have been in several situations where being only able to pull forwards would have got me in even more trouble - or an electric winch would probably not work due to not being able to run the vehicle.
Having said that the flying fox was bloody great ;-)
