Well it all works :D got all the freespool and wiring installed in my raptor dash for now :) tested it in the yard attached the forklift to the hook and pulled her along nicely :) stood on the brakes and it kept on pulling so thats a good start :D

She'll get a priper test tomorrow :D just a few bits to do before she's ready (steering damper bracket and some tidying up :) )

#### me the rope is long :eek: and it doesnt even fill the drum :D
 
To be honest its not quite as "fast" as i though it would be Its about 100ft a minute but it just pulls and pulls and pulls :D

I intentionally (mostly) put myself in some sticky situations to get out of incliding pulling myself through a thick bog that was half way up the door ! Just pulled through even with the engine turned off. Everyone commented "damn thats a good winch !"

When you compared it to some of the other winches there its just a different league

I bloody hope so with 2 motors.. lovely work though!
 
nice one jimbo

my 9500HS does 100ft in about 1 minute 20 seconds and i consider it a very quick lowline winch, but they dont have the load pace of the 8274

a mate of mine has a stock winch with a single bowmotor i think, i was lying on his bonnet holding the freespool in (lol) whilst we were dragging through a clay pit and it was like holy **** this thing does not slow down

so i can only imagine a gigglepin must be quite a sight to behold

very very nice mate and thoroughly jealous, but i mainly just want to see it in action :D

Not surprised, do they realise how much said winch costs :p
Winch tray looks good, much better that it's sat back flush instead of sticking out a mile.
 
Heres spme pics :)


One place I was stuck :p


Bit of a bog I winched through :)




When the engine decided it didnt want to work anymore :doh: bllody wire came off the coil :(



Damp ...




Good day apart from ripping the exhaust off after 5 minutes and the engine dying at the end of the day and my trailer disco amd 90 all having to be trained out by a line of RRC's haha :)

I did mention the cost and they said "bloody hell" but still said it was good though :p

Yeah winch sits behind the front bracing bar for the challenge wings and behind the dumb irons for the chassis :) so its well protected :) I dont want to break it !! Haha :)
 
aww man i didnt notice you at holy mud slide yesterday!!

I nearly rolled mine with the mrs in, she was crying and i had to get some spectator to spool my winch around a tree so i could pull myself back up haha...

I think I saw you ! Were you in a blueish disco l. Did you break something seemed like you were winching most of the way back to the car park ? Or was that someone else haha.
 
Blue 90.. Wasn't there too long.

Front winch worked well thank fook, rear winch spooled out with the clutch in because i didnt wanna swim through the mud to freespool it haha...



It got about 6 foot away from the tree i needed to winch to and stopped working... Turned out my drive belt was slipping and not turning the alternator pulley..

So no power for the rear winch...

then when i got it going again it wouldnt spool in so i put the cable in the back and drove forward and reverse a few hundred times to get out... turns out the winch was working and the wireless remote had packed up..


Haha not a real good day to be honest for me, took the mrs for the first time ever, everything i went towards she screamed DONT YOU ####ING DARE...


Then she cried, so i laughed, that didnt go down too well..
