landroversforever Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I'm sure any of them would sell just the drum. The likes of Gigglepin or DeltaTek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would save you a lot of £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I have one available if you want to make me an offer... no idea if it's an original Warn item or it's been extended, if it's been extended they've done a good job on it ! It was already on my winch when I bought it and I replaced it with a freespool. Picture of the drum next to a standard one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercguy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Excuse the ignorance, but I'm no 8274 expert - Is the drum extension simply to fit more line? or does it serve another purpose? I like the idea of a freespool, but would worry about it engaging when under load. I'm sure that whoever makes them has already thought of this though.

SteveG Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just to fit more line on, especially as most of comp guys now use 11/12mm synthetic, so you don’t get much on a standard drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about the engagement, the gears are normally weaker than the drum engagement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Air freespool is a life changer when competing. Being able to run up a muddy hill with the winch hook in your hand instead of stopping and pulling it out every few metres makes life much easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 A longer drum with the same rope will have more pulling power as the top is spread over a smaller diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
