Getting stuck on a washout or failing a climb is part of the sport; the real problem is being stranded without the gear to get yourself out. We’ve seen plenty of winch setups compromised by moisture and poor integration, which is why we’re looking at the ARB Winch. It’s designed specifically for clean, low-profile fitment in modern bumpers, while maintaining the reliability required for wet, unpredictable conditions.

Key Features

• Integrated Design: The motor control unit is tucked inside the winch housing. This eliminates the need for bulky, separate control boxes, allowing for a cleaner install that works with modern vehicle sensors and tight bumper clearances.
• IP68 Rated: The motor and gearbox are sealed against water and dust intrusion. Whether you’re dealing with deep creek crossings or winter slush, the internals are protected from the elements.
• Custom Albright Contactor: This high-performance contactor connects directly to the motor, increasing electrical efficiency and providing a more reliable power transfer than standard solenoids.
• 4-Stage Gearbox: The hardened steel 171:1 gearset is engineered for efficient load distribution and consistent line speed, giving you the control you need during technical recoveries.
• Dual-Connection Remote: Includes both a 2.4GHz wireless connection for distance and a hardwired lead for situations where interference might be a concern.

What’s Included

• Winch (10,000lb or 12,000lb capacity)
• Synthetic winch line (pre-installed)
• Forged 6061 aluminum hawse fairlead
• 500A power isolation switch with stainless lanyard and dust cover
• Dual-connection wireless/wired remote controller
• Remote-mounted control plug

Pro Tip: If you're running multiple electrical accessories installing the included power isolation switch is mandatory. It prevents accidental activation and keeps the winch from drawing power when not in use, which is critical for managing your battery health on the trail.
