I am looking at the Opposite Lock bar with the fog lights. Great looking bar,
well built and only around $1400 as opposed to some others. I will go for the Ironman 12000lb again without a doubt and would recomend the Ironman 12000lb for your vehicle, the extra grunt is peace of mind and the winch does not work as hard.
I use a 95000lb Ridge rider winch on my boat trailer. it was a cheapy on special from Supercheap for $500, RRP $700 I think. It pulls my 6.5 boat off
the beach onto the trailer without a sweat. Simple design, cant complain at all.
The Tmax is another that people like, They range in price, there is
shop in
Albany WA selling them for $700, 9500lb.
There is nothing wrong with a second hand bar, ebay is always a favourite.
Get onto part search websites,
it is partfinder or findapart, one of the two. Put listings up in the wanted categories on sites such as this. If your not in a hurry, something will turn up.
I have made the winch the first option on any vehicle. At the end of the day if you get stuck, you CAN get out. Lockers and all the other expensive bits can only get you so far, a winch will get you all the way, it may take a bit longer but you will get through.

The 12000lb pulled my 80 with the 22ft boat hooked up, trailer wheels 5" buried into the wet sand and the cruiser wheels the same. I can not dispute the performance of this winch.
