Freelander 1 Winch bracket

I have just been to your E-Bay page and I noticed that it is no longer for sale. Do you no longer make them?

As I am "new" to Freelanders, could someone please tell me if the following is a Pre or Post Facelift model:

I did the drawing & made a cardboard mockup, took that to a local fab shop who cut, bent & welded the pieces , had it powder coated locally.
To my knowledge no one is producing winch bumpers for the Freelander 1.
If I could get enough interest I would have a small batch of 6 - 10 made.

Had been posting on the Modified Hippo thread but think this deserves its own thread now.
Have got the prototype winch bracket powder coated & mounted, tested it by pulling my old manual Freelander ( which hasnt moved since I broke my leg 3 years ago ), out of the ruts it has made in the front grass !!, brakes were siezed on but the winch & winch bumber coped ok.
Heres a few pictures below, got a couple of days work left but it alls coming together nicely.







This was the first test with bumper removed

Looks awesome mate. When your ready to sell them please let me know. Also postage to south Wales.
 
Its designed for a later car with a larger bumper. A pet hate of mine is winches hanging out the front of the vehicle - it just looks terrible with the earlier bumper hacked away like that.

Also that is their publicity photo, "modelling" the winch to sell to customers...bumper hacked away with a sawzall, unsanded rough edges, nobody could spare 30 seconds and some meths to remove the remains of the stickers on the winch.....
 
Thanks for that bud...

Well looking at the picture it appears to be the same bracket, just not as nicely implemented as the OP's install - but that is as has been mentioned down to the different sized bumpers. At least I know where I can get them from now, I just need to make my mind up to either do a facelift bumper / headlight conversion or source a V6 front bumper....
 
Haven't been able to do much recently with this little project but have got a couple of powder coated ones and a few bare metal ones left, PM me for details & prices, won't be having any more made so its your last chance to get an "original". They are only suitable for TD4's.
 
I'll apologise now for digging up an old thread (especially as its my first post) but been on the look out for one of these for my freelander, I don't suppose anyone knows of any for sale?
Many thanks
Harry
