giveitago · Jan 5, 2014

Kwakerman · Jan 5, 2014

Don't forget to budget for all the extras;

Winch Rope? (don't know if it is normally included)
Winch Bumper
Additional Wiring
Twin Battery set up?
Twin Battery charger?
Shackles
Strops
Tackle Blocks
TRAINING !!!!!

Depends what its used for, if it only going to get used mayb once iff needed a single battery would be ok, as there over landing I would imagine it has twin battery's ect, good practice to carry strops and shackles ect any way inch or no winch, tackle block? Snatch block?

If your going to buy a new winch and bumber I know of a shop online that's based near me and he would be willing to do a deal I would hav thought, maybe throw in sine straps ect.

2 is good, would need a nice lowline as I don't think you would want an 8274 sticking up in the boot of an overland.

yea, was thinking of Block & Tackle and didn't even type that correctly

all ready got the winch bumper, training is a must. wouldn't using 2 batteries make it 24volt? do the winches run on both 12volt or 24volt?

SteNova · Jan 7, 2014

2 batteries wired as one big one is the norm as the space in the box is almost square

Depends how you wire them, either in parallel or in sequence

Will your bumper accept the 8274 as they mount differently to a std winch
