Titan TW 12 winch on a factory 80 series winch bumper? (1 Viewer)

[romey]

gotta ask. do you think this would/could work? maybe with a little bit of hacking around to make the winch fit?? it's a cheap mod for now to buy me some time...

i have a jdm 80 series and can get the OEM winch bumper at a very reasonable price...

I can measure a TW12, if that helps the determination.

The solenoid can be remote mounted and Duncan can make the leads whatever length you need, so it doesn't have to factor into the fitment equation.

$450??

Never heard of that titan brand winch, is it any good?

Made in China, just like the rest. I'd opt for synthetic, personally. Paid $750 plus shipping for TW-12 spooled with synthetic two years ago.

Have run for couple years on FJC. Hasn't seen a lot of use, but hasn't failed to work. Not the fastest, but not the slowest, either.

Duncan at Titan is a good guy to work with, too.

The specs are a little suspicious on the TW12. Most Chinese and domestic 12K winches use a 6.5 hp motor with a 345:1 gear box. The TW12 uses a 183:1 gear box. Most other winches with 183: gear boxes and 6.5 hp motors are rated for 9K. You get a faster line speed but it won't pull as strong.

I have heard nothing but good stuff about Duncan and Titan. Unfortunately he is out of stock for another week (at least) or I would have mine already.

end hijack

yeah, plus 1 on titan winches. the TW 12 is i think in it's 3rd generation of continued improvements.

that's right, i forgot about being able to move that solenoid, yes! just so happens Duncan is in the next town over.

pic of that winch bumper.. (i have a roller fairlead) just not sure where the winch will actually sit on or if i'll need a winch plate fabbed up in behind the bumper...
