Turbos

Gooday, I have an X9 superwinch that was taken off a late model landcruiser trayback (the vehical was traded in where my old man works). I have a non compatible T1 TJM bar so the thing is useless to me. The winch looks new and is in very good condition, however I have not tested it at all myself. Does anyone know what one of these would sell second hand for (and if their anygood). Two good friends have GU patrols and are semi keen to buy it - although I would assume a 9000 lb winch would be pushing it to use on a 2.4 - 2.6 tonne vehical???
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That size winch is a bit small for a patrol using a straight pull but will work fine if always used with a snatch block. If you sell it to your friends for the right price then why not? No idea how much it is worth, sorry.

9000 pounds is around 4 ton , no issue for a 2.5 ton car on any pull. I have one on my cruiser and pulled hard many times with no snatch block and never failed . Also used it top pull John R with his 3.5 ton patrol out of DEEP sand .

And John R had his brakes on at the time:-))

No worries, they cost bit over $1000 new (see post 9290) so I would charge 400 - 500 considering it appears near new and in v.good condition. I'll keep your email address and get back to you soon - with some photos if my friends bail on me. I do need to check its operation first just to make sure everythinks aok - I know it will be though.

Cheers.
