Hi, I just got back from Bangalore/Coorg on Monday after a rather hectic two weeks. Sorry, I couldn't get to meet any of you guys. Vinay, your message is just a day late! What I did manage on my last day in town was to visit Ozone and meet Mr Narayan. Nice chappie and says he owns a '73 Land Rover that he's kitted out. I checked out the winches, but decided against an electric Warn winch (costs about Rs 57,000 for the 8000lb winch), because mounting it on the 4wd Scorpio would be tough. Plus it would void the extended warranty and would involve a battery change and some bumper modifications and changes to my brush guard as well as welding etc. I figured, since offroading is all the more fun when it involves some sweating it out, it would be better to get a hand winch. So anyway, here's the list of kit I picked up at Ozone on Monday, and I'm waiting for it to reach Delhi by surface transport (as I already had way too much luggage to carry with me and hence could not take it on the plane). 1. A 48" Hi-Lift jack 2. A Hi-Lift off road kit (includes tree strap, shackle, brackets, chain and tensioner for winching, gloves and kit bag) 3. A Hi-Lift wheel mate (device that hooks into the wheel rims to lift from the side) 4. An American Power Pull 2-ton hand winch. I paid about Rs 12K, including taxes for the first 3 items. Not quite convinced about the price I paid for the last one, so not mentioning it  , as it was anyway a grey item.I bought some other odds & ends as well, like a wind-up torch. Eagerly waiting for the equipment to reach me now. Cheers, | |

 The paraphernalia that comes with the off-road kit is useful in using the Hi-Lift as a winch, but just about 36" of travel at a time (from a 48" jack). Slow and tedious work, but definitely a lot of fun. I'll try it out one of these weekends and report. Cheers, | |

Check out the pic in the below link. Here is what you need. It is also called as Bow Shakle. For the tow rope length, I think 10mtrs would be enough! http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attach...r-img_1772.jpg | |
