Winch

<< < (2/3) > >>

Guy90:
Iain,

Is exactly like yours! All the bits are there including the bumper for £350. Will be fitted for free (it's a mate).

Do need a winch for recovery purposes (other people,not me) and this is cheap (compared to a Warn) and no fiddling with electrics etc. Was looking to upgrade springs etc to a two inch lift in any case.

As you say doesn't do wonders for the approach angle but very few winches do. Anyway it's a big heavy thing so I'll just plough my way though.

Deal is to be done tomorrow and hopefully fitted in the next week.

I'd go for it Guy, especially if it's not for self-recovery.

Let us know how you get on.

Of course not. When have I ever been stuck :?  :? .

Er Whaddon :shock: . Where I was pulled free by Iain and his H14! Not intending to do a lot of self recovery but will be of some (slow) use if I do! Not as if I would be in a hurry!

You can't afford to be with a 2.5D  ;-)

If you need any photos taking of the drive shaft routing etc., give me a shout. I remember I had to drill four holes in the front crossmember and use rivnuts to attach the front uj bracket, and also had to get a bracket to lower the steering damper out of the way, but the rest was a very straight forward bolt -on job. Oh , just remembered, I have fitted a steering guard across where the pto hangs below the chassis rails. Not sure if this applies to you though as I think you have a different transfer box and your pto might not hang down as much.
