I have the 9.5xp with some mods by Mal Leslie. It has been on 2 rigs so far and will most likely be on many more. Price is forgotten long after quality remains.

The bloke sent me a PDF of the webpages. He also recommended the dymena (sp) rope over the cable.Originally posted by 1coolbanana View Post
I have sent back an email to see what is actually in the box, just so there is no nasty surprises when I buy it.[url=http://postimage.org/image/2sfmhqpic/][img]http://s2.postimage.org/2sfmhqpic/IMG_2105.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://postimage.org/][img=http://s5.postimg.org/70rf0djrn/P3200362.jpg][/url]

Can anyone give me an opinion on a Warn XD9000 with cable as Ive been offered a really good deal on a new one, for a little more than an Avenger with rope.
After the opinions Ive seen on M8000, Im not overly impressed by Warns lower range winches.
I dont mind spending the money if I get the quality thats going to do the job and last forever and have something I can always count on , but am I??????
Or, is the quality, performance, durability and reliability no different than the Tigerz11, Avenger etc.Last edited by 1coolbanana; 21-09-2011, 05:13 PM.Marc, 2003 Grande V6, Just a Bit of Stuff Done..........Work in progress.

nothing lasts forever . just remember that a winch with cable and a roller fairlead weighs an extra 15kgs over one with rope , when you start adding bars , batteries lights all swinging off the front end past the axles it affects your ride and handling. less weight is good out front .03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places . RTFM people !

Seriously, I would love to chuck a warn on the car, but all have the same warranties these days, do the same thing and are most likely made in the same factory. I can't justify paying for the name.
They are going to release an 11000lb winch, 11XP, in Australia in a few weeks. Check out the runva Canada website for more info. I am leaning towards this one now.
Cheers.

I finnished my Runva install last weekend. It came with everything you need for the job. The only surprise was the hawse needed to have an offset and it came with a centre mount. I hope to give it a run at stockton this weekend.2004 GXL V6, full house

How does it feel so far, nice and smooth, lever works well etc?

I've got one also - And the Tigerz are one of only a handful that can winch down a hill backwards without binding/locking. Something to do with the gearing. Mine has 2 speed, but I only use the low speed when winching. Only ever used the high speed for winding in the synthetic rope.Originally posted by croozza View PostSSSHHHH be very very quiet were huntin wabbits.Comment

I've got the 9500. I was told it is exactly the same winch except for the gearbox, which makes the 12000 slower. If I do run out of power, I have the a snatchblock to turn it into a 17000, but for the smaller jobs I have the speed of the 9500. I've never had a winch before and no real experience with winches so I can't make any valid comparisons but everything feel fine for me so far. Time will tell.Originally posted by 1coolbanana View PostExcellent, cant wait to hear what you think
