Default Supercheap winches
Hey all I've tried googling this and searching on the forum and can't seem to find any specific info on the supercheap winches. I was looking at getting a smittybilt winch 12k for my JKU to fit my ARB deluxe bullbar
http://www.sbroffroad.com.au/Smittyb...facturer_id=36

I have just received a catalogue from supercheap auto and they have a 12000lb ridge Ryder winch at 50% off
http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Pro...2-000LB/380258
Has anyone had any dealings with these or seen them in use? For $495 with synthetic rope I'm pretty tempted to get one. I've never had or used a winch in the past so I'm guessing that I wouldn't need the beer neez of winches. I plan on doing a trip up to Gibb River RD in a few months so am looking at some extra recovery gear. I'm not keen on water crossings and would try to avoid these where I can.

Also do most winches fit most bullbars or am I governed by specific clearances with my ARB bar?

This is the winch I'd be going for.

From all reviews it sounds like a beast of a winch with a small price tag.

I have the previous model domin8tor winch in my ARB deluxe bar and it's pulled me out of some sticky mud stuck on my belly where at first instead of pulling me out it was pulling my husbands car closer to mine lol. I love it!

I bought a cheap 12000lb T-max winch from ebay thinking that I'd always buy a better one down the track once I've justified the need for it. I've had no need to change it out. I can't kill it.

It's also fitted to the ARB deluxe bar.

I'm of the mind now that if I did have to replace it I'd probably buy the domin8tor from 4WD Supacentre.

Got the new dominator winch. Works a treat. I'd rather that than supercheap.

I have fitted a "Ridge Ryder" 12000 winch to my ARB bar and I have had no trouble with it. Works well. Submersion in water and mud will kill all winches if not serviced IMHO.
