Red winches do look really good. I'm looking at replacing mine with one, just cant justify £1500 quid for the base model and thats without pump, hydraulic lines and winch cable.

yes he did but he also asked
Hi, apologies if this has been asked already
I am planning on getting a winch for the front of my classic RR but being a novice in this field have no idea which is best either for value/reliability/use.
Any suggestions?????
and then
Looking at the OPs profile pic he has got a RRC with a standard front bumper so that would need to be replaced with a winch bumper to fit a winch
so in terms of value a tirfor will be cheaper than a bumper and winch unit (hydraulic or electric)
reliability again a tirfor is very simple and doesnt mind getting wet unlike electric winches that should be serviced after wading (more than likely kept in the RR unless used)
use because a tirfor is not on the front or rear bumper it has more uses than a front or rear mounted elec/hydraulic winch
I know it doesnt look as bling and wont be as cool as having a winch bumper and fat tyres in your mcdonalds car park but overall for someone who is a novice and unlikely to use it all the time the tirfor is probably the best overall option.
If the OP thinks a front mounted winch is the best option for him there is also advice for that too (Warn/PTO/Red) depending on budget
now put your dummy back in or **** off back to LR4x4 :mooning: :5bgrouphug:

I've got a goodwinch TDS from David Bowyer, he imports them from kingone winches in china.
People seem to think , chinese it must be crap, but it's not where the winch is made, it's what spec it's made to .
When I stripped it to waterproof , the build quality looked good.
Give him a ring, no hard sell but loads of advice, he can go on a bit though
I used the tirfor once, the disco had slid into a tree on a slide slope, took ages ****in about with it for a simple recovery.
Maybe if your in the middle of nowhere and life depends on it, then tirfor everytime, but for a quick easy recovery , it's leccy for me .
