pajero winch mount

muddyjlx:
well i have had a go at making one today.

this is the first one.



it bolts on using the front bumper bolts and a long bolt just behind the bumper outriggers.
i tried the winch i had on it and if you have a winch with the solinoid on the top, it wont quite fit under the front. >:( >:( >:(
a normal winch with a seperate solinoid would just fit, but it would be close to the oil cooler.

so i then did this.





now this fits in exactly the same place and the winch will sit on it with clearance.
but with the fairlead sticks out 3 inches beyond the front of the stock bumper, roughly in line with the bumper bits that hols the washers.

what do you think.
bear in mind i have spent 5 hours in the shed making it and i am tired. hungry and dirty :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Mutz:
From the pics, it looks like youve mounted your winch to the bumper brackets?
I looked at fitting mine there but was not sure if the flimsy mounts would take the strain of a Paj stuck in mud, just my thoughts, but i would mount it direct to the chasis.
Nice looking job your doing tho, wouldnt like to hear youd tried to pull something and the bumper and winch fell off.

Mudlark:
They are not just the bumper brackets they are the mounting points for the Mitsubishi PTO winch as well :wink:  :lol:  :lol:

Mutz:
Opps :oops:

Looked at pics before reading, just noticed youve bolted through chasis as well.

rollazuki:
Isnt the mitsi Pto winch only about 5000lbs rated.....!

Be careful, I tore the front bumper mounting eyes out of the chassis  on my zook. They looked substantial, as do the mitsi ones, but double lining on a X6 superwinch pulled em straight out.. :oops:
