Discrete (non-LR) winch mount? |
|
Has anyone fitted a discrete winch mount - I've seen pics I'm sure - that fits in behind the front bumper - with just the fairlead on the bumper, and even having the numer plate covering the fairlead? very keen to understand how it fits/strength of mounting etc?
Thanks,

Thanks Chris and Discodunc.
- if you were towing the 2t trailer with the D3 - still not too bad a way to spend a day... better than driving a desk!
Where did you gte the winch mount? Fitting details? happy with it?
cheers and thanks again.

I would really be interested in one of those winch mounts myself! Any ideas on where to get one or on the dimensions so I can have it made?
