Thread: Runva winches

Why don't you get a multi mount base that fits into a standard removable tow bar mount.
I have a 9000 lb Warne thats been on my last 3 Hilux's and is 25 years old.
Carry it in the truck only when Im away in the mountains.
Fits the front or rear tow bar receiver.
Have a heavy wiring loom that that has electric forklift connectors at both ends and a master switch under the bonnet thats also been on the last three trucks. Just change it over when I get a new truck.
That way its never been under water.
Can be fitted front or back only when needed.
Can also be used on any other vehicle as I have an additional set of fly leeds that can be carried.

Main thing is you don't loose money leaving it in a vehicle every time you upgrade and as I said its never been under water.
Easy to make a mount up or have a handy mate with a welder make one.
Great way to use cheaper winch and not have the same issues with rust etc.

This image is not my one but very similar.


As a note also.
Modern 4x4s need a heavy earth lead to the winch from the battery as the earth to chassis is very light now and you can not pull enough current through them.
