Help me choose a winch

[mr jits]

So, I've also spoken with a Runva rep and I really can't see many differences in their company's parts and service and the big name winch company just down the street from me other than the cost of parts.
Their initial warranty is good and their lifetime warranty is exactly the same as the "big three". Runva has also given themselves a very good name in Canada and Northern Europe, so I'm willing to gamble on their product.

Curious if anyone has dropped the new Warn VR 10,000 series in an ARB 60 series bumper. I like the price and the synthetic rope version.

 

[Haggis]

Tried contacting ARB about the above question but no response...might have to spend more money and go with the XD9000.

Hi All:

Check with WARN tech as to the exterior dimensions of the VR10K versus the M10K. Should answer your question as to whether the VR10K will fit in an ARB 60 Series bull bar.

Regards,

Alan

Thanks, I will do that. I'm assuming a M10k has fit in the ARB?

Hi All:

Yes, the ARB bull bar designed for low-profile electric winches will fit up to the Warn M10K.

my engo 10K is teh same mounting platform as the 9K winches...

Will fit an ARB bumper perfectly.

Metal-tech was out of the Engo, so I ordered th Runva. Decision made.

 

[Haggis]

Thanks, will contact Warn Tech, did some checking on Engo, pretty popular product, back ordered for a while.

 

[mr jits]

The Runva arrived. Packaging was tidy, and only a week to ship from eastern Canada.
I haven't installed yet, still need to clock the clutch and wiring hookups so they're compatible with a feet forward mount to my ARB.
I'll post pics tonight.

 

[mr jits]

Pic and more to come.

 

[mr jits]

Almost done with install. All grade 8 hardware.

 

[mr jits]

Sorry, app crashed on my phone. Install pic.

Did it come with the rollers?
On the website it has a different front attachment that the rope comes through.

 

[mr jits]

It came with the rollers. I just drilled to fairlead to make it compatible with the ARB.

Finished pic.

 

[Haggis]

Nice !!

 

[bj60eh]

Looks awsome! Have you used it yet? How's it work? A friend of mine is lookin at buying one of these soon

 

[merbesfield]

What is the advantage or disadvantage of going w synthetic vs cable?

 

[Mace]

less maintenance, nicer to deal with, just as strong, splicing is easier.

The list goes on and on..
