(because i dont care about the load of the car..these cars made to work as an elefant
the 11.000 lbs it was a choice with many benefits..
first of all i believe that a warn XP 9.500 -that i use to my front bumper- is more expensive (1100 euro ,2 years ago) and more strong, compare with T-max 9.500 lbs.. (450 euro)
and also T-max 9.500 , 11.000 , 12.000
had the same outer dimensions and the price is 400 euro , 450 euro , 500 euro)
so ...i choose this ..maybe for one pull per year..when i am alone without other car..
the bumper matches perfectly and no need to cut anything..(if you dont use a roller fairlead)
the only "problem" is i want to replace the aluminum fairlead (the use is for rope only) with a steel one..and its difficult to find..
the next step is to replace the rear plastic bumber with a steel one..
