4WD Toyota Owner was invited to Warn HQ to test out their new Endurance 12.0 winch! It's actually air cooled via a remotely mounted fan. When the winch motor reaches a certain temp, the fan switches on. You can also activate it manually. The winch has the universal "D" connector (thankfully!) and many parts are stainless steel. It was mounted on a Tacoma and did very well in the mud bog. They had the fan near the air box, under the hood. I know, don't flame me, underhood temps are already hot, etc. It's just where they had theirs. The air fan moves quite a lot of air, I forget the exact number but maybe 200 feet per minute? 2000? Not sure, don't quote me, can't recall just now.
Warn really has an amazing engineering dept; they gave me the full tour. Full on physics dudes testing these things under heat duress, amp loss, you name it. Heat kills motors and winches and this is an innovative setup. I predict it will become quite popular. Here's a few pics.
