I am pretty sure there is a price difference in the ARB cat anyway from memory $2700 new 12v around that. Again from memory 500 difference over 12v. This was about 12 months ago so I expect them to be cheaper now with dollar strength.

If you have got your eye on one (24v) that someone is selling then get it. Even if it is in not so good nick it can be rebuilt (motor winding, wiring). Like if it is still working get it.

I would think that 2nd hand 24v Highmounts would be as rare as rockin horse shyt.

yeah i agree 24v high mounts are as rare as rocking horse shit
i think ive ever only heard of about 2 for sale eveer
i think there is about a 500-600 dollar price diff between 12v and 24v high mounts
brawn 4x4 also sell a 12v high mount for about 2000

24v Warn High Mount Winch retails @ $3139

little bit off topic here but i got a 24 volt hiab(crane) motor rewound for 140 bucks shouldnt be to hard to have them rewind a motor from 12 to 24 volt for a reasonable price then get some 24 volt solenoids

We just converted a new 4.6hp 12v to 24v, pulls like you wouldnt believe, and quick as. Don't ask the price as l cant tell you.

My old mans humvee has a 6000 lb 24v low mount and it pulls as fast if not faster than a high mount and has some real grunt too.
