this is lifted from the ih8mud forum re: the history of aisin jap factory option winches

"The AS-450 is a light duty planetary 3300lb unit spec'd for the 80's mini trucks. I have one of these in my garage, neat little winch.

The AI-1000 is the next one up, similar to most 8k lb planetary winches.

Last (as far as I know) Ax-xxxx. An Aisin copy/redesign of the Warn 8274.

As one can imagine, these winches are very high quality, completely sealed... they make most aftermarket winches look a bit cheeeeeeseeee."

Obviously if it is the as-450 it appears to have been for the purposes of shifting stuff around rather than self-recovery, as i'm sure most would agree that you would want a minimum 8000lb winch for recovering a 2-tonne truck.
