Ideas - For Good Quality Cheap Winch and Tyres

[Jonathan_Ferguson]

Such as the Brawn XR-8000 for Australian $990.00

Also, When I eventually sell the BJ40 It'll free up some money so I'll be able to buy some Full Sick Tyres and Rims.
The Rims would be 16x8 RockCrawler with 4.25" from ProComp for $130.00 each
The Tyres I'm looking at getting is the Silverstone MT-117 Sport 285/75 R16 - Any ideas of other Tyres?

Warn 8,000 lbs. $636.00 = Australian$912.61 Wish they were that cheap in Australia, Which is why I'm considering the Brawn. Also in the Brawn's favour is that it's Impoter/Distibutor and their Retail Shop is nearby to where I live.

In regards to Tyres, I've looked at American Internet Sites for the Price of the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw and the Interco Bogger in a 33" which both are about USA$200 = Australian$286.99 When I can get the Silverstone MT-117 Sport from Chappel Corner Tyre Service for $240.00 each fitted(got this price less than an hour ago).

dunlop makes a dam cheap nice offroad tire
dunlop makes very nice tires
35x12/50 is WAY under $150

The Dunlop MT1 is only availible for 15" Rims and the biggest Tyre is a 32x11.5
The Dunlop MT2 is availible in a 285/75 R16, But is a ordinary pretend Mud Tyre

My only other option for a real 33" Mud Tyre is the Simex Jungle Trekker II in a 33x10.5 16. - Shame the Extreme Trekker is'nt availible in a 33.

For the mean time I'll swap the 205R16 on Split Rims from the Hilux onto the Landcruiser, Then put the Silverstone AT-117 31x10.5 R15 on -13mm Offset 15x7 Rims onto the Hilux.

I was going to also buy a

and a

, Aswell as a

first anyway.

The Brawn 8000 shows a permanent magnent motor... not the most reliable motor design for a winch that will be seeing some good heat cycles. I'd steer clear! Series wound motors are what you should be looking for, nearly all winches use em'.
