Unless i am mistaken thats the unmistakable shaper of A warn 8274 winch

 

Here is another

Your right Andy it is a Warn but modified by Gigglepin, it has two 8hp motors fed by two 75AH batteries which are switchable 12v/24v, it's ok to winch in on 24v but must lower out on 12v. It also has air free spool so you can just walk out with the rope. There are two of these on the truck (one front and back) plus another winch in the middle. Controls are in the cab and also external.

 

There is a third battery which simply does the trucks electrics. At the last event it ended up shaped like a rugby ball and was making a hissing noise and smelt a little bit like cow muck, I realy thought it was going to blow.
