Hi all,
thanks to those who entertained my questions around the bullbars and winches.
I have a ARB commercial bar on it's way, either this week or early next week I expect.
Since it would have to come off to do a winch install, I decided to grab a winch at the same time and do it all together.
Based on my interaction with Runva and googling, I found the 9500lb to be only 70bucks less than the 11xp, current draw was negligible, weight and size were too close to worry about.
So once I convinced myself the 11,000lb was the way to go, an extra hundgee to move to the premium (full IP67 rated) made some sense.
I much as it was more expensive, I've learned that in a few weeks I'll forget about that extra few bucks I spend and but have the better product for the long term.
Here's the video of the 'unboxing' and some thoughts on why I made the choice I did with some info on the 9500 and the standard 11xp.
I'll be doing a video of the DIY bullbar install along with the winch once it has all arrived.
Happy for any feedback on the bar install if anyone has gone that path in the past.
cheers Brett
