Hi
Finally I might have enough money to get a winch onto my 120 Prado. I need a solid trustworthy winch which will be working when needed, and of which there are spare parts available now and in the next 10 years, and available worldwide (planning to do Siberia and central Asia one day). I intent to have this winch for rest of life of my car, which could be another 10-15 years (if not more , I hope). The winch will need to be used over and over again in extreme conditions (water crossing and mud tracks, steep uphills and downhills).
After long evaluation of all that is available, reading reviews and forums. I am looking into two winches Warn 9500 XP-S and Zeon 10S Platinum.
Seems like the Zeon might be tight fit, but I want to have the control box undertow the bonnet anyway, I am just bit uncomfortable about the wireless remote. What happens if it breaks or I lose it, expensive winch just a dead weight? Cannot find any info about using it with wired control.
Anyway, my question is, which of the two would you recommend (hopefully based on personal experience)
Thank you
