2000lb winch

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Tom's right - his defender would have eaten through that, to the extent that you would need mining equipment to get it back out...

see that's always got me thinking. thin tyres to cut through the mud or wide ones to float it?

I know its its particularly loose deep stuff a bigger "footprint" is better but do the same principles work with thick mid?

Yeah. Different tyres for different situations.

A few times I have got further than Scottie because my narrower tyres bite through even though they are a smaller diameter.

Back to the winch...I'd say get a 6000 for the front but have the little one on the rear just in case..
If it ticks over...leave it
