nope, had mine on drivers side for ages with no problems

 

[Muds]

Thanks doc ...was thinking it's more visible on the off side , but I've seen em on both so just wondered . X

So long as it's readable from the front about covers it

Mine is on the nearside vent flap. Been there donkey's years.

You need a new addy sticker Trew. I do like yer little side windows

This is what we had in mind originally but tis no good if you want the flap open
Had a bright idea that I would bolt on some angle iron to the top drivers side bumper , but I've got the standard length plate and it's too long other options are on the grill but means I can't use my mud muff aghhhhhhh:Cry::Cry:

Mines either cable tied to the cage or in my windscreen when it falls off. Not the best I know, but havnt had any trouble the past year.

Mine is stuck to the flap with double sided tape and opens with it.
OK, so you can't read it when the flap is open, but dilligaf?

Another alternative is to fix 2 Terry clips to the back of the plate and clip it to the vertical rollers of the fairlead. Then just remove the plate when off road or winching.

I biught a magnetic one for me rrc and put it on the leading edge of the bonnet.maagnetic wont be no good for fenders but a sticky one would work

 

[drewster]

one or two ways of doing this
either like mine
or on the grill
the law states it must be on a vertical surface

do you never break that when you go in a deep rut or nose down something? just looks a bit vulnerable to me

Got dyneema bow rope so not conventional roller fairleads , although got fairleads and wire if anyone's after them , I'll work it out , will see if I cat trim down the standard plate .

so you went for the expensive option then.

Nope I went for the best option I could afford and saved every penny
The dyneema rope is safer and easier for me to use IMHO but the wire and fairleads still come with the winch kit and are redundant , if I could flog em it might pay for a bit of diesel ...I'm happy

have a good look at how I did it its easy unless that's not what you want

Ha ha already studied yours drew , and yes a great idea but now I'm looking at the plate there's quite a bit of space either end so I might see if I can hack saw it shorter then it should fit where I want it to go, that's if that's the way to cut perpex who knows just fitted the isolation switch inside , will change the bumper over tomorrow then see if we can work out the best route for the wires ...some of your pearls of wisdom wouldn't go amiss here Drew please
