If you are knowledgeable about mounting winches, you can definitely install your winch following technical installation guidelines. Otherwise, it is always best to have an expert do it to keep you safe and to avoid damaging the newly purchased winch.
Unless you're purchasing a specific part, or accessory, Runva winches come in packs ready for installation. This will typically include everything you require for a standard installation to get up and running (leads, bolts, control box, remotes, cable etc). This also includes setup instructions and manual.
Great question! From the customer feedback we have the Runva 13XP Premium should fit a ARB Bull Bar on a Toyota 2016 79 Series Land Cruiser, however with this particular winch we always recommend measuring the space within your bar to be 100% sure.
Click here to view the 13XP size measuring fitment guide for reference.
Yes. The Runva warranty explicitly states: "Our warranty covers your winch against ingress of these elements under normal use. We do exclude the use of high pressure jets on the winch, please do not waterblast your winch.”
No. Runva winches do not require breather kits. Based on the design of the winch a breather kit is not required and is not necessary.
The 13XP Premium winch is ideal for most heavy duty 4X4 applications, however we always recommend that the dimensions, including the mounting bolt pattern is checked to ensure compatibility with your bullbar and vehicle. The 13XP is a large winch and so the additional length of the winch body must be accounted for prior to installation.
Click here to view the 13XP Premium fitment guide.
The standard height of the 11XP Premium winch is 200mm, however if you rotate the gearbox the height then drops to 167mm. This can be particularly useful if you're fitting the winch into a tight space in your bar.
The most popular Runva winch would probably have to be either the Runva 11XP Premium, or the 13XP Premium, followed closely by the Runva EWV12000. These are all fantastic models, with great reputations in the 4WD community.
For more information and a comparison of the above models please read our comparison article here.
Installing a Runva winch into an ARB bull bar usually requires an offset fairlead. This is to ensure the rope can travel through the bar smoothly and without getting damaged.
The EWB9500-Q, EWV12000, 11XP Premium and 13XP Premium all include the new 2-in-1 Hybrid Fairlead in the kit. Alternatively, click here to view the Runva Offset Fairlead.
It's also recommended that you check the weight rating of your bar and vehicle to ensure the winch weight doesn't exceed the bars weight requirement.
While Runva’s winches are built to global standards and should fit 99% of winch compatible bull bars on the market. Please check the specifications of the winch, and compare with your vehicle and bar to confirm it will fit. This includes weight rating, mounting bolt pattern and overall dimensions of the winch. Most of the winches include a blueprint diagram with the winches measurements.
Note: ARB bull bars usually require an Offset Fairlead (click here to view).
The difference between the three EWX9500 winches lies in their gear ratios. The EWX9500 is the entry level 9500lb winch. This winch has a gear ration of 230:1, while the EWX9500-Q has a lower gear ratio of 110:1, and the EVO (short for Evolution) has a extra low gear ration of 80:1. Simply put the lower the gear ratio the faster the winch. The -Q and EVO models are ideal for winching applications requiring pulling power with a little (or a lot) more speed.

Whether you can mount the control box to your winch depends on the winch you're buying.
The Runva EWV12000, 11XP Premium and 13XP Premium all includes brackets that allow the mounting of the control box over the winch motor or drum as well as various other locations.
The Runva EWL series does not include the bracket that allows the control box to be mounted over the winch. Instead it provides a single bracket to mount the control box on your bar or within the engine bay. A bracket to mount the control box on the winch is an optional extra - see here.
Most Runva winches include rotatable gearboxes. Check the specifications of the winch to confirm this is possible. If you're still not sure contact us and we'll verify for you.
The IP rating of a winch (or any item really) is a technical term that indicates how water resistant the winch is. Without going into great detail an IP67 rating means the item is waterproof up to 1m below the surface and entirely sealed from dust and dirt. An IP66 rating means it’s resistant to heavy showers or spraying and entirely sealed from dust and dirt. Due to the nature of a winch and the fact that it’s very purpose is to get dirty and most likely wet, always look for a high IP rating, generally IP66 and above is good.
The minimum battery size to run a 4x4 electric winch from is a 650CCA. A poor power supply could prevent your winch from working and could also cause damage to the winch motor.
The Runva 11XP and the 13XP Premium Winches are supplied with a bracket kit which allows you to mount the control in 3 different positions. There should be a way to hide the control box if required and if you find this can’t be hidden in the bar itself we have had previous customers extend the control box cables and remote mount this under the bonnet.
The first step is to go through the Trouble Shoot Guide as the problem may be non-warranty related and easily resolved.
If you are still having problems you can make a warranty claim by emailing a copy of your receipt along with the full fault description to info@runvawinch.com.au. If you need any assistance with your warranty claim please reach out to us at 4x4 Down Under, we're here to help.
The Runva 11XS is a compact winch, which means it has a smaller size profile than a traditional 4x4 winch. It has been primarily designed for use as large boat trailer winch and is not meant for vehicle recovery use. It also won't fit most standard bull bars. Please check and confirm mounting bolt pattern and overall dimensions prior to purchase and installation.
We strongly recommend that you service your winch at least once a year especially if the winch is submerged quite often during use. Servicing your winch will help make it last for many years of trouble free use. If you are not able to service it yourself, any auto electrician or 4WD service agent will be able to do this.
The Runva 4x4 winch drum grub screw size is M8 x 10.
