Hopefully it's for a couple of weeks, The Singo bus might be growing a winch.

Yes the bloody winches are cheap

Ropes · « **Reply #5 on:** March 04, 2012, 11:13:50 PM »

Re the winches,

The Hercules 12,000LB winch is the old 2008 model - Warranty: Winch - 1 yr Control Box - 6 months - $429 + Postage
The Grande 12,000LB winch is the new 2011 model - Warranty: Winch - 5 yrs Control Box - 2 yrs - $699 + Postage

There are some other major differences too, if anyone is interested in what they are PM me your email address and I'll send you a comparison spreadsheet I have compiled.

Cheers
Craig

There are some good buys in there. I could talk myself into an alloy rack.

Do you need one?
That's impossible for anyone but you to say really. There are too many variables.

Are you doing the trip on your own?
Do any of the vehicles in your group have winches?
Do you want to be restricted on what tracks you can take?
Just to mention a few.

What I can say is, just for peace of mind, I won't be doing the trip without one fitted to my vehicle.

Cheers

I would be interested in their Wing awning but they don't have it on ebay... Probably blew the budget for toys last week anyway as we bought a canoe at the 4wd show, now need some life jackets and some accessories for that!

Isn't that typical that when the bills come in and you "had" that money set aside for the winch that it got swallowed up into a something else popped up bill. GRRRRRRRR. Wonder how long these specials will last?

The sales are supposed to last all month and when their website is back up, they should have their new online shop working with the same prices.

If you're lucky it will be discounted in their main site online shop when it comes online today or tomorrow.

Hi Craig,

In your (obviously well researched) opinion - is it worth the extra coin for the new model winch? $429 is seriously cheap, and for the amount of work it would get on the front of my car, would probably be more than sufficient (IE, is better than nothing). Is there anything particular against the older model that would sway you towards the new one?

Currently wishing I hadn't seen this thread - too much temptation.

Thanks!
Matto

Hi Matto,

Personally I would not get the Hercules ($429)

I would save/spend the extra coin on the Grande for several reasons;

Warranty,
Latest model - not an old model brought back to combat other supliers cheaper models,
Ability

I've managed to attach my comparison spreadsheet below with my main reasons highlighted in green

im the same as you Matto wishing i never saw this thread

i did have my mind set on a warn magnum winch but now thinking a tigerz 12000lb for that sort of price and for the amount of times i;ll probably use it damm you Ropes

but thanks for the heads up could now save money for other mods.

Matto · « **Reply #16 on:** March 05, 2012, 01:30:41 PM »

That's a great spreadsheet Craig - thanks for sharing. You obviously know your winches.

Agree with your rationale - the longer warranty and the better solenoid pack are big draw-cards of the newer model. I was under the impression that the older model also had the winch out brake, but may have my wires crossed.

Will need more thinking (along with more thinking juice).

Cheers!

Bummer they dont do a 100 series roof rack but the high lift jack looks the goods.

Went down to the Tigerz11 factory this morning. (5 minutes from home - no postage costs) Picked up the 2.5 M awning for a mate who is on holidays and could not get there. They had one on display and to me it looks absolutely no different to my ARB awning. For $169, I think it was a bargain. The bloke who served me said at the rate they are selling the awnings, they will run out very soon - so if you are after one, don't delay. Also picked up the hitch and shackle for $26 and the winch dampener for $16 - couldn't make it for that price !! I was like a kid in a candy store !!

Thanks mate, the main attribute I am after in a winch is that it work, first time, everytime and be able to rely on it to get me out of a sticky situation when I need it to, even if that's only once a year.

I have been told by a reseller of the Hercules, that it doesn't have the same brake as the 2011 model and that was one of the main difference between the two models.

Happy to be corrected though.

Cheers
Craig

And the air compressor too. Just picked one up for $110 (RRP $230-ish).

I've been looking for a while, and in a recent review/test (assume it was 4wdAction), it got a really good result. For the inflate/pump up test (16 to 40psi), it came out equal 4th (with 2 others). Great result considering it was competing with the twin pot ARB's etc.

Nothing like a good deal to make you feel good. Bit like taking a leak in black pants... no one else really see's it, but it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

These prices are great.... i was 'ummming and ahhhhing' about getting an awning. No brainer at this price.
Grabbed a tyre deflator for 25bucks too.

If i didn't just order a set of coil-rites (bargain) and a new GME antenna (another barain).... i'd have a winch in the mail too.

Mate just picked up a new roof rack and awning for his patrol and with his saving looking at a new winch he's wrapped

fabulous · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:57:58 AM »

Hi,

I like the price of the alloy roof rack, but can anyone tell me how high off the roof they are ? I still need to be able to get my Patrol into the garage. I think I've got around 300mm to play with, is that enough ?

Look forward to your response.
