It was hot, too hot, I dont know how the winch bitches ran about all weekend in it,
btw I was in the red disco usually at the other end of your winch line,
I have my cut out just under the bonnet, before use I pop the bonnet and turn the key,
it has been known for scrotes to pull the winch cable over the car to the towbar, then short the controls.
Dont forget the champion winches have a good freespool.
the first time I tried mine I nearly fell over, I was expecting the same resistance as my old Ramsey.
but ropes take up a lot of room,
I keep several strops of different lengths, often you need a long strop but sometimes a short one makes it possible due to some obtruction.
as said forget the kinetic for now.
Funnily enough my rear window didnt go back up, when I got back from the Howling Wolf event,
guess what I will be doing this week, it only takes 20 mins a side.
I have one I bought for my disco (disco parts I think), and then never used, (got a southdown tankguard) can deliver to this weekends AWDC event for £100.
