WEell it is nice to know that many think the T-max is a good buy - so I will pass that on whenever others ask. I do love my 9.5ti but in all reality I don;t always need the turbo.. LOL (A Turbo Winch - now *that's* an oxymoron!)

Y'all that are running 8000lb winches are most likely running too light of a winch.

Quick update: Witnessed my pal's Heep on its first (since its latest morphing) off road punishment session.

His T-max did double duty, as the other Heepist had his winch pile up early in the day.

It pulled all day long, (tested its submersible claims, even), and gave no trouble.

A circuit breaker (my pal hates fuses) for the winch kept popping once in a while, but apparently it was marginally sized to start with....

Its line speed was very good, too.

Having seen it in action now, I'd buy one without a second's hesitation.
