Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day fellas, I've had a bit of a look around and can't find a definitive answer. What I want to do is try and get a second hand warn winch, I'm thinking a M8000 or similar and then fit a 6hp motor to it. Has this been done or is it doable? I know I can get an xp9.5 but they are over 2 grand where I could probably do this for $700.

Cheers, Rob

Yeh rob a 6hp will fit to any warn winch, wat didnt the tigers11 like 24v???? Hahaha

See you at easter, ill be on the podium if you want any more advice haha

Haha thanks mate, nah its still going fine as far as I know, but I don't trust it. I'm pretty much going to run it the same as the tigerz but with air free spool using an air ram.

And... I'll see YOU at easter, I'll be the drunk one on saturday arvo if you want anymore heckling.

xp9.5b brandnew $1735 http://www.doubleblackoffroad.com/Produ ... Winch.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

i would hot up a avenger mako tds 9.5 or tds 12.0 as they have the best freespooling mechanism with near zero drag on the winch drum
and also avenger sell air freespools for them and im sure they use a 20spline shaft the same as warn do on their motors so you could
probably run a 6hp motor . the mod these up in england a bit .

Geez that xp9.5 is cheap. That avenger is interesting and I like it, but for the price I think you are probably better off building a warn, mainly for parts availability. Just looking at it then and from what I can see a M8000 has a ratio of 216:1 which would be pretty bloody slow, then I looked at an M6000 and it had 156:1. Is there a difference between the two other than the gearing? Could you just drop a planetry gear out of the M8000 or would a 6hp running 24v not be enough poke, or could I put a 6hp motor on the M6000 and would it hold up to the weight of the cruiser?

Did the tiger get stuck on an pull a tree over on your car. ( in the 4wdaction shoot).

If you wanna play with lowmounts, wait till easter and check out gudges winch that me and him built, its a warn M9000 tricked up with a twin motor setup that me and gudge designed and built, it runs 24v and final ratio of 28:1 we are currently in the process of designing a tripple motor setup aswell, you send me a txt 0416988399 ican send you a pic of the setup

Yeah we wired the solenoid with 24v instead of 12v it welded itself and pulled a tree clean over.

Cheers pickles, I'll send ya a text now.

Ok, so there's an update on this. I ended up getting a second hand highmount. I've already got air freespool and a 6hp motor coming, there are a couple of mods which i think I need to do being bracing and the pin near the motors needs to be held out with an R clip? Can somebody show me some pics of these mods, I've googled and failed and Im a complete winch novice so bare with me.
