Chico, with your LC I think you need a 12,000 KG Winch.

I recommend Warn as well

eBay = most likely they ship to the US only, otherwise check for the seller history, feedback etc and get shipping quote before you conclude any purchase.

I have a different Point of view

1- Cheap stuff ( several brands ) are sold here especially at "kamaliat" stores e.g. in Naief Road facing to Hayatt Regency Hotel Dubai. Similarly in Sharjah Sahara Mall Avenue.

2- Very very heavy that they really impair your dune surfing capabilities (check all weights at quadratec.com)

3- They are best performing when you do rock crawling ( I am sure you are not doing that frequently)

Yes they look cool and agressive on front bumper

just my opinion....

Good points Tamaraz,
If you have LC then check out used ones Musafah scrap yard.
i heard that chinese winch are goog and are cheeper. worth looking at.

I remember T-Max (Chinese) 9500Lb used to be for 2,000Dhs in Dubai accessories shops Tamraz is refering to. Another valid point raised by Mpenzi is to check the scrap yard for used winches.

Also Japanese scrap in Sharjah might get a complete bumper/mounting plate/winch and spotlights for reasonable price.

All the best Chico
