Mounting a Rear Winch
Discotel:
I am thinking of getting a second winch and mounting it tothe rear of the disco, has anyone done this and if so how big a job is it....I know a lot of people have fitted them to challange motors but this would be just for lan9ng and the odd P&P day.....I have not chopped it about and dont really want to, to be honest I think I am clutching at straws but it would be nice to be able to do it.
Regards, Terry

iv put a rear winch tray in mine , yet to get a winch tho :roll:
i bought a 90 rear tray from ebay , only cost a few quid !
u say u dont want to cut it up but i cant realy see any other way of doing it , i cut the rear crossmember out and welded the 90 tray into the chassis

a friend of mine has got a rear winch fitted to his disco 1, its mounted in a heavy duty golddigga bumper with swivel recovery eyes in it. hes also got 2 batteries one for each winch
Range Rover Blues:
Get a receiver hitch and buy a removable winch tray, that way you can still tow, you could put the winch on the front, you can take it off when not needed and you don't have the weight at the back all the time.

I agree with RRB.
Mount the winch on a bit of plate, cut a hole on the plate to fit over your tow hitch. Run a pair of cables from the battery to an Anderson connector mounted on/near the tow hitch and bobs your aunty.
If its just for laning etc you wont need a massive winch anyway. I have seen a 4000lbs atv winch pull a 90 out of a ditch using this same method.
