Today I have been fitting....

Locky1978 · Jan 13, 2013

Picked this up of ebay for £110 so decided I might as well fit it today. Made the rest up out of spare steel I had laying around. Should do a good job of ripping the front end off of the vehicle.

damn nice winch yer got there fella

ive often wondered what it would look like on the bumper rather than set in between the wings without the apron being there ( set back so tom speak )

damn good bargain i must say though :tea:

Yeah.. I was really toying with the idea of mounting it IN the bumper rather than on it. But in the end I decided I'd rather keep the bumper integrity and just make up a heavy plate on top. It's 6mm steel. I was going to mount it right back against the grill but I thought if you ever get a good downward angle on the winch line it will touch bumper.

Very nice, what amp alternator have you got on it cos when I fitted my winch the alternator couldn't cope with the big amps of the winch and it would flatten the battery even with the engine running!

That was one worry I had. I wouldn't think my alternator is very big (perkins diesel)
Battery is 130ah. If I have the battery flattening issue I'll have a hunt around for a beefier alternator.

i like that was that a lucky buy or does he have a few

Locky1978 · Jan 14, 2013

.... lucky buy I'm afraid. I had been keeping an eye on fleabay for a while. There seems to be a plethora of winches on there at the moment. Not sure why. maybe ppl upgrading after crimbo?!? I saw a few broken warns too which would be worth a go at a repair.
