chris.hunt22:
Lookin to get a winch later on in the year but I personally think winch bumpers look c&*p on a Disco (just my opinion all you clubbers with them :wink: )  I have seen some discos with the winch mounted neatly away behind the lower bumper where the big hole is, where do you get these mounts from and what sort of cash are they??  Also - do you need an extra battery/split charging system to fit a winch, would be looking at a 12000 lb model, what price is all this lot on top of a winch?

wing nut:
this is mine  :wink: the hole is covered by the number plate ..just awaiting a nice winch :)

Cant agree more. I was looking at trying to find the end caps on my bumper onto a winch bumper if it came to it.

I saw them recently on the Bearmach web site. I did send an email about price but didnt get an answer. My only concern about them is that you cant see how the cable is spooling onto the drum, mud getting in and being a pig to clean and how you opperate the lever from drive to neutral for quick spooling out and also with an auto is the auto box oil cooler pipes in the way?. I wil watch this thread with a keen eye. :D It is also less visable to thieves as well and more pedestrian friendly.

narked:
Seen them in the Bearmach catalogue too. Not found anywhere yet that stocks them, so might call into one of the Bearmach stockists in South Wales next time I'm down that way. Was in Abergavenny yesterday, but it was too late in the day for me to pop over to one of the places.

Still, need to actually get a winch as well, so no point me getting one yet ;)

sorry guys but looks arent everything

then dont bother with a winch.unless you want one purely for show(which there isnt anything wrong with). I cant see the point in spending good money on something you dont need...and im right you know i am. If you buy a low slung one...or even worse one that you keep your bumper ends with you arent going into the situations that call for a winch. A winch needs to be as high as possible or you wont be able to get the cable out...hence no point having the thing in the first place...

each to there own but if thats what you wanna use yout disco for ...spend the money on polish instead.
