Well I find this post entertaining :)  :)

parallel battery wiring gets my vote too as long as batteries are of same type and bought at the same time.

I reckon that having thin underbody protection is worse than having none at all, it instills a false sense of safety.

are we still talking about off-roading here or the merits of blokes wearing thongs :?:  :?: If so I agree and thongs on men should be banned ! :wink:  :wink: Although I'm not keen on going commando either so boxers get my vote :)

BACK ON TOPIC

i would personally say electric...and also that all this split charge business is a waste of money unless you are taking part in a winch challenge.
I had a Warn xd9000i (for sale btw) on my RRC..used on an offroad week pretty frequently off my 1 battery with a standard alternator and i never had any electrical or starting problems!


i do the challenges and dont have split charge and most dont  :lol:  :lol:

remember KISS  :wink:
as for electric vs hydraulic
prefer electric, pop your truck on its side... how u get back on all 4 with hydo winch  :wink:
aslo it cost about 2k ish to get the system sorted properly not bodged  :shock:
proper sorted 8274 around 1.2k

I just have an 80 amp alternator and twin batteries for my winch, I've never had a problem with it.

Oh, hang on, that's 'cos I don't often get stuck :wink:
