Bought one earlier this year for the GU. Works well although I haven't had to use it in anger as yet, just practise work. Have been very happy with previous ironman products, in particular, suspension (full kit on my previous Navara and coils on the GU). Good value and appears to be sound products.

Cheers. Mick

Dandy I'd be leaving any of the cheaper winches alone instead steering towards a commericial grade winch like a Ramsey, Thomas or Powerauto worm drive electric or 10 to 15K Warn etc. Winching weekly for a living I'd be looking at reliability over price although if on a budget there are plenty of ex government 2nd hand units available that would far outlast common recreation winches.
