I use this style on my 4wds usually kept inside and only inserted when needed.
In the movie the first time someone asks for a shrubbery the response is "a shrubbery??"You know Google Dave? I didn't know the word either, but "googled" it, Thats exactly the sort of bush I got out at my son's place!
Yep, when my nice shiny new Grenadier arrives with integrated winch it’s up for sale if any wants the big heavy piece of crap. (It’s not a Tirfor brand one but same deal)Gumtree is your friend then
A true heirloom tool. That almost makes it special in it's own right.
Where you given it, or did you buy it?
A mate was getting rid of it and sold it to me pretty cheaply
If you've no requirement to tow (and I share your comment with regard to the portable winche's compatability with a tow ball) then I'd hope just buying the lump of metal which I've seen described as the "Vertical Towing Interface" would be much cheaper than purchasing the towing kit at some £600ish.
That really needs to be demonstrated to be believed.
Full type approval for cars, or just legal for commercials with their own "lower" standard?
One for our forum sales page then ~ although you may need to work on the sales pitch.
What is your use case for the vehicle? That will give you the answer.
remember, just the winch is not enough. if you really need them, then you also need ropes, shackles, maybe a pulley, and depending on the location, a ground anchor.
I had a Tirfor almost 40 years ago - but here in the U.S. we call it a "come along" (I'm not kidding). According to the All-Father, er... google, it was invented in 1919, right here in Colorado. But perhaps that entry was written by a Coloradan. Anyway, the date excuses the terrible name, as people in 1919 just said silly things.
and you are set for any little or large adventure!
His videos are excellent, he isn’t the most charismatic presenter but his content is fantastic and very practical and down to earth. Watched his video on what kind of hook (or not) to put on the end of your winch rope. I am leaning towards none and just using soft shackles for everything. The next question is though whether to leave it hanging out and exposed to the elements attached with a shackle to the recovery point, which looks cool but probably not great for the long term condition if your rope. If you don’t want to do that then you also have to make sure you don’t accidentally pull the loop through the fairlead when you are putting it away, that could be particularly painful with the OEM winch as there doesn’t look to be an easy way to get a hand in there to get it out. You could invest in some kind of stopper/protector, Red Winches make one. That’s kind of nice but the shipping to Australia is double the cost of the product and there isn’t a local supplier. Hard to justify. Robert suggests just an offcut of wood or dowel, which is effective and practical but feels wrong on a brand new truck with a very expensive winchNot sure if this was posted before but for all the recovery add ons it's a good reference and food for thought. Then all you need are his how to winch in 101 ways
