TJM electric winch

Post by Jimbo »

Has anyone had experience with tjm electric winches? I'm looking at buying a second hand 10,000lb electric winch for my patrol.

Thanks

go to the bible topic in this section for all your info on winches etc.
IF IT MOVES, SHOOT IT
IF IT DOESNT, CUT IT DOWN
IF ITS GREEN, PISS ON IT

I run a TJM 10,000Lb in my GQ. Some bars (ARB??) require a winch cradle to attach the winch to. If you know what model bar you have, it'd probably be worth ringing a TJM place.

I have only needed to use it a couple of times, (more to pull my mate's 'yota - you know who you are ;) ) and I don't necessarily go deliberately looking to use it if you know what I mean. When I've needed it, it's been dependable.

Like all lowmount winches, they are subject to being dunked in mud and shite. It you're buying second hand, have a close look. I believe that it pays to get them serviced every now and again.

Cheers

they are a good winch but if you use it alot, seal it up and put a breather in it and you will have many years of trouble free service. If your ARB bar is a factory nissan bar. Then i think a 9500 is the biggest you can fit. If it is a deluxe bar then you can fit it and if its a commercial for a highmount, you have to drill two new holes.
