Thread: Adventure kings winch

Ensure you use it regularly so you know it is still operational. Last thing you want is for it to let you down the day you need it. Water ingress and corrosion are an issue with any winch, potentially more with a cheaper unit. Dyneema does break down in sunlight so keep the rope protected.
With that gear ratio it will be very slow, probably not an issue if only used as a back up.
Supercheap winches come up on special regularly at a similar price and carry a good warranty.
I have used Runva, Red winch and now have a Supercheap unit on my 4WD. So far the Supercheap one has been the most reliable. I do have a Warn unit sitting in the garage.

Be wary of any supplied wiring looms. I bought their spotlights (which are awesome),but have had to replace wires, plugs etc as they melted after a few weeks use.

I've got one, and have used it clearing my section, then yesterday gave it a hell of a run pulling my 80 series out of door deep mud.

It seems ok - as others have said, run it regularly (I pull the Toyota up a steep driveway every month or so), and when it was new I pulled the gear set apart and replaced the grease with something of known quality.
