Get a Tmax, for the price you can't beat them.
I don't know about you but I have mates and most of them don't have Zooks they have Cruisers and Patrols and when they get stuck I pull them out.
I never wanted a Zook only winch that I would burn out saving a bigger car.
The 12000lb winch is actually lighter than my 9500lb and has a faster line speed.
My point was that when you have your zook parked up against a tree or whatever to anchor it to rescue your mates, a 12000lb winch could potentially damage your chassis. You know how thin a zook chassis is.

Got the motor back today.
One of the 4 coils in the housing had burnt out.
They couldn't give a better explanation as to why it happened than "Sometimes they just go".
$176 later and I have a winch again.
Motor is sealed on this time just in case water had something to do with it.

They have an in-line fuse holder with a 250 amp fuse (nice and wanky clear perspex holder with gold plated terminals. I used a 400amp fuse - they are used in forklifts. I don't have any photo's just yet. The fuse holder andd fuses were not that expensive.
Your talking about one of these. This holds a 400amp gold plated fuse which I run all my electrics threw.
Cheers Mick.
