As per title, looking for a winch, some lift springs and any off road parts you may have!

So who has what and wants to sell to me?

Thanks

8000 lb odd size innit ?

You'd be better off getting a 12,000lb jobbie and have the capacity you will need one day

Myate had a 8000lb winch on his terrano and that was great and pulled him out of deep mud. Also unless you spend daft mobey the 12,000lb winch is very slow.

Not had a chance to test speeds but interesting point. Do you know if they have different gear box ratios ?
It's when the old girl gets bogged in to the wet stuff, ie stuck 'cause of suction liquid contact etc.
Going to look at gearing now

I was actually chatting to a few guys about the higher pull winches. Think they normally use the same motors but use gearing to get the greater pull. But then they are slower.

Interesting, but why is the loading reduced then? Surely it's just the speed that differs not the strength of the motor, or have I missed something?
If so I'll get a 6000lb gear box on my 120000 winch

hmmmm
