Hi all,
I'm still a fair way off deciding what sort of rear storage system to put in the back of the 4wd, so I'm after suggestions of what other people are using to carry/store their recovery equipment in. Specifically hand winch & cable.
Thanks in advance
Phil P

I keep all my recovery equipment in a large storage box I bought from TJM. As I do tours and often need the full 8
seat capacity I can lift this entire box out when necessary. I then only carry a small bag with shackles snatch strap etc. Hand
winches are heavy and bulky to carry I keep
mine in a potato sack and then store it in the large box mentioned, same with my cable. I use my hand winch on average once a week during training demos and have found the best way to spool my cable is to take an initial coil of cable then tape the flange end to the initial coil, I then just rotate the coil back towards me until the cable is all coiled. Always wear gloves when handling wire cable. Cheers RobCairns Offroad Training & Tours

We keep our recovery gear in one of those purpose built carry bags that the likes of ARB, TJM sell. As for our hand winch and cable we have these secured against the cargo barrier using quick release straps. Stops them moving around and keeps them out of the way and as we rarely have to use them, the fact they are a little hard to get to doesn't really matter. Ideally, we'd like to keep all our recovery gear, compressor, tyre repair kit and winch in a roller drawer system but have so far resisted fitting drawers because we need to access the child safety points on the floor of the wagon. However, we are now giving serious thought to making a custom set of drawers having come up with a rough design for them that will still give us access to these access points but will allow the drawers to be easily lengthened and modified once this is no longer necessary.
