Make sure to complete the transaction before the 20th.
Should I place you on the "committed " list?

As far as I know, we have 12 officially processed transactions. Great start! Hoping that new owners will chime in after having the winch installed for a few months. Positive feedback like what Brock and BBQ have given will go a long way in establishing Titan as a reccomended winch option as far as the Mud community is concerned.

I'm curious if people are going to use the included std. Hawse fairlead for their installs. The only way I can see using this on the ARB combo is going with a suggestion from Duncan. You need to offset the winch by placing washers between the feet and bumper to create space for the nut on the back side of the fairlead. You'll also have to drill new holes in the bumper for the fairlead mounting.
Other options - go with an offset hawes or a roller fairlead. Question - do you typically share a common bolt hole between the offset hawes or roller fairlead?
The ARB combo winch mount is in a deep recess too, I worry about any severe angles that could be problematic with the hawse.

I'll know by tomorrow...It willl be going on my Pajero and I need to decide on a bumper too...

Ok - I think I made another bad assumption. The warn 12000 mounts feet forward with the gearbox on the right side (passenger side), so I assumed the Titan was the same. After looking how the Titan is spooled, it appears the gearbox should be on the left so the line spools from the bottom. If this is the case, disregard the 108 degrees. The line should spool from the bottom, correct?

Just to clear things up for everyone, Duncan says that line should always spool from the bottom and that the gearbox should always be on the driver's (left side when sitting in vehicle).
Maybe Duncan will be able to source an offset hawse fairhead in the future to address the ARB combo bar issue. Keep in mind, this is not a Titan-specific issue, it exists with many other brands including Warn when trying to mount to an ARB combo bar.

Wow! Awesome deal (checking slush fund acct since I just bought tires)...
I figured an engineer would appreciate Duncan's R&D on this one!
Ordered today and I have a tracking number!!!!

Done,thanks!
Cool! I sent you a PM before I saw this with Titan's contact info!
I'll take one. I have called him twice and sent him a email. Just waiting for a response to pay for the winch. I assume he will honor the price if he doesn't get back to me by tomorrow?
Just saw this thread right now! 
I will call Duncan first thing tomorrow morning and see if I'm not too late!

I wonder if Duncan would consider extending this GB a little longer?
