Re: Winch options

My next purchase would be a snatch block, to half the effort required, especially in the sand. ARB make a top one, rated at over 14.5 tonne for about AUS $75.

Re: Winch options

Am looking at buying a winch for Trevor thr truck after spending an hour rebuilding a mud hole down west coast. Anyone have or Know the Mudhauler Vehicle Recovery Unit? This appeals to me because it packs small and has a webbing strap{ no steel cable to roll and pack which can damage interior ] and being in Tassie seems mudfriendly. A bit expensive at $560 but seems an obvious idea that is well made.

Re: Winch options

Just my 2 cents.
I don't think the X Trail's chassis rails where this bar is attatched is strong enough to pull the it out of a bog anyway.
I've had the front bar off a couple of times and both times I have looked carefully at the build of the T31, (I am asuming the T30 is similar) and there is no way that its strong enough.

If you start winching yourself out of a bog with the mentioned above, I reckon you'll pull the front of the Xy apart from the windscreen forward.

The Xy wasn't built to fit a winch.

Re: Winch options

I suppose you could go thru and pull the engine out and strengthen the chassis thru a engineer to see if you can put a winch in place but the cost would far out weigh the want for me!

This is my 2 cents worth!

Re:

The solution that i've settled for is an electric winch that has a mounting option for the tow bar.. Rear recovery seems the only viable option as far as I can see..

Re: Winch options

I am pretty sure an Australian made bar, already available for the Xtrail (T30 and T31) will take a winch pretty easy Havent really completed enouf\gh research yet, still plodding away with it.
