I'd say you paif a fair price for it then :wink:

TBH it's probably as cheap to e-bay that one to someone who just wants to look like they off-road and spend the money on a cheapo import (which that one probably is) with some sort of guarantee.

looks like a Tmax style winch,
 i would get it stripped down & see whats up,
motor might just have stuck brushes due to crap inside & also the free spool will more than likely be rusted in place

A lot of winches are very similar in external design now, it looks very similar to one of these (http://www.winchsolutions.co.uk/winches_newspecheet8.htm)

Chinese import i'd say,my mate had one from new,packed up soon after,sent it back and after some words it was repaired only by robbing a motor off another one,save your money and buy a proper name.Don't forget alot of the import winches are not for self recovery.

I've got one like that in my garage, there's a reason it's not on the truck..... they're crap!!

If you need a winch, buy a decent one...................
