I have the 9.5xp with some mods by Mal Leslie. It has been on 2 rigs so far and will most likely be on many more. Price is forgotten long after quality remains.

Can anyone give me an opinion on a Warn XD9000 with cable as Ive been offered a really good deal on a new one, for a little more than an Avenger with rope.
After the opinions Ive seen on M8000, Im not overly impressed by Warns lower range winches.
I dont mind spending the money if I get the quality thats going to do the job and last forever and have something I can always count on , but am I??????
Or, is the quality, performance, durability and reliability no different than the Tigerz11, Avenger etc.Last edited by 1coolbanana; 21-09-2011, 05:13 PM.Marc, 2003 Grande V6, Just a Bit of Stuff Done..........Work in progress.

nothing lasts forever . just remember that a winch with cable and a roller fairlead weighs an extra 15kgs over one with rope , when you start adding bars , batteries lights all swinging off the front end past the axles it affects your ride and handling. less weight is good out front .03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places . RTFM people !

Seriously, I would love to chuck a warn on the car, but all have the same warranties these days, do the same thing and are most likely made in the same factory. I can't justify paying for the name.
They are going to release an 11000lb winch, 11XP, in Australia in a few weeks. Check out the runva Canada website for more info. I am leaning towards this one now.
Cheers.

I finnished my Runva install last weekend. It came with everything you need for the job. The only surprise was the hawse needed to have an offset and it came with a centre mount. I hope to give it a run at stockton this weekend.2004 GXL V6, full house

Did you get the 9500 or the 12000?
How does it feel so far, nice and smooth, lever works well etc?

Good to see you back on the horse again, I'm winning the TJM winch at the GTG even if I have to buy $1500.00 worth of tickets!! Best wishes on the family.\
