this one sounds like its pretty good stuff. Noticed its rope and not wire. Is this something that can be changed to suit the individuals needs or preferences etc.

Go for the Goodwinch Goldfish, as good as Warn, some say better, but a lot cheaper, speak to David he will do you deal. He was offering to pay the VAT for purchases made before the 24th December - don't know if its too late to get this?
 
back to the mind of offroading, what equipment do I need to get. The essentials and the luxury things.

I plan to go greenlaning (once every week or two), and would be cool to get out and about on an offroad course which will not be a frequent thing as they cost big bucks?. But, early days as yet.

Cheapest n simplest.But i had a HD bumper on me 110 with a recovery point on.Tough as fook.Would get that again if i had a depender.Lots of options out there.
 
was looking through the fred, and saw they recomended, tree strops, shackles and snatch blocks. I assume the tree strops, are used to wrap around tree and then attach winch end to? But what are the snatch blocks and shackles for? I plan to go greenlaning usually alone, mostly and about once every week or two. But I guess doesn't matter how often you go out.


Im getting the winch from goodwinch, on this site. http://www.dborc.co.uk/goodwinch/

So trying to get everything at once from them, assuming ill get a better deal. These are some of the snatch blocks or whatever, that they sell. Can you point out the things on the list that are worth getting, they also have the kit for £169.??

Look forward to hearing from you.

Well ive used em, but also had a steering guard with recovery points.
Snatch blocks are used to reduce the speed whilst increasing the pull power of ya winch.Shackles?Wot you gonna do with ya rope without one?Tie a bow?
 
are the snatch blocks a good investment then? Which ones, as they show a couple on this site.

Also, is the steering guard the thing the also protects the axel?

Shackles, sound very important then :)

Snatch block is a pulley and does what all pulleys do, reduce load on the winch. but in doing so it slows the speed of pull down and requires extra. rope/cable

Snatch blocks and th correct use of em is a good investment.So possibley could be a winching course
