Anyone got any feedback on the Magnum winches for Prado GXL 2005. Suppose to be pretty good made by Warn :?:

Re: Magnum Winches

I think you'll find Tabor are Warn's 'value' winches. They used to be branded Magnum so I don't know who is making Magnum now.

Re: Magnum Winches

Warn still make the Magnum winches to my knowledge. Have a look on the site and my understanding si that any of the models that start with an M are a "Magnum" winch. These are in both the Heavyweight and Premium Series winch lines. If my understanding of this is incorrect then I applogise in advance.:
WARN Self-Recovery Winches for Trucks & SUV

ARB also have these listed ARB Warn Winches

Re: Magnum Winches

I don't know what M stands for in the product code but it's not Magnum. There was never a Magnum high mount only a 900lb low mount. Maybe Magnum is an ARB branded Warn, like their fridges were rebadged Engels. Either way like any winch, as long as you look after it properly it will serve you well.

Re: Magnum Winches

The magnum winch is made by warn, l have had one problem [the brake]with mine,
had it modified to take the warn brake no problems once this was done.
Most warn parts fit or can be made to fit, the cost of the mod cost me almost
$300

Re: Magnum Winches

l was told by ARB Brighton the Magnum is the old Warn 9000lbs.
They recon its a good thing but parts are expensive and gets pretty hot so have to be careful with rope.
Probably spend the extra $500 to buy the real thing...its more powerful brother; a warn.
