Which winch for my defender

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ridgeback:
I have both bumpers, so fitting is not an issue.

I do like my tds and I had David @ goodwinch fully seal it up before I fitted it. I don't know much about the X9winch, which is why I asked the question.
I could put it on the rear, but does that not require fitting a new rear X member and cutting a big hole in the floor?

I was hoping to get some money back from selling the bits I dont need . Its more money in the post for other toys. :D

topless matt:
You dont need a new crossmember, you can make a winch cradle to fit just inside the tub with brackets going to the chassis (big ones tho).
A new crossmember looks nicer tho  ;)

Ridgeback:
I now have a td5 and this has the fuel tank at the rear.  where does the winch sit if you change the X member?

extreme90:
that makes it awkward
its far easier to fit into the rear load bed
but why do you want a rear winch  :-k

Because some one surgested it :lol:

Like front mounted winches, many of them are not really necissery, but are still fitted.
Plus once you have a winch fitted you can then find a use for it, even if its just holding the bonnet wider open than the normal stay ;)
