winch tray, who sells 'em

<< < (3/3)

Bulli:
Thats just nasty(sorry if anyone has one). I have a heavy duty winch bumper on mine and used the winch a couple of times this weekend. I had to put the bumper against a tree to recover a g wagon- they are that heavy!. that bumper would have bent like mad, mine pushed in my front wing as it was.
I cant undersatnd why anyone would want to undersling the winch?!? it just makes it prone to mud/ water and hard to get to when you are stuck....normally nose first in a ditch! If you cant get to the hook then you cant use it!
Just my thoughts...

muddyweb:
I would argue that's not really designed for serious self-recovery.

Putting the winch there does a couple of things...

It keeps the vehicle looking a lot more standard
It keeps the winch pull down low, which is a good thing in most repsects
It is a lower cost method of mounting a winch for use recovering other things

Range Rover Blues:
Rimmer Bros. also list one (RRC part I think) that looks not unlike a steering guard.

hobbit:
Drop it in the chassis like this
