Hi All,
Thanks for your feedback. Thats the wind is also fast under maximum load a sufficient power supply is needed. Such a modification only makes sense if the electric power is adjusted. Yes the gigglepin has nearly the same construction, but our winch has a lot of differ in many details, like the position of the head - on the gigglepin it is back to the vehicle - our version goes away from the vehicle so you have not to destroy or cut the radiator grill.
10K is alot for a winch, thats true - our version costs here in europe all together and including the 8274 winch and 2 6,8HP bow motors and 2 solenoids for 5.000 Euro ( 8750 $) When you deliver a 8274 Winch we will modify the winch for round about 3000 Euro ( 5250 $) to price you have to add the shipping costs. thats all.
for get a complete setup we add a second alternator to the rigg with a digital charging / Balancing controller. The second alternator deliver up to 400 AmP an up to 60V - we adjust the controller so that you have always 13,8V on your vehicle. The alternator and the controller costs round about 600 Euro (1050$).......
In a other place/Forum a user ask me if i can modify his winch on my next holiday in USA. OK i will do that and its for free because if a europeen customer buy this modification we will do the mod for free - so we and the customer are sure for the correct function of the winch.....
