Ok,
I am interested in a rear winch form my 2005 freelander 5 door. THe main reason is I just want one, but the justification is that I may need something for dragging a car tailer up to the back of the car,and loading a car onto the trailer (I am looking for a car trailer on ebay for a track day/sprint car and often the winches are knackered).
I think it may be more "useful" to have one on the back of the "big black bus" as opposed to on the triler.
Is there such a thing as a winch plate that bolts on to a tow bar mount? and can normal tow electrics run a winch amps wise.
Finally the freelander commercial has "rear demountable winch" as an option, anyone got one, whre does it fit and would it fit a "domestic" 5 door.
Finally one that ca also go on the front would be "fun" but not if I have to overly knacker up the front of my very shiny new car.

Winch mounts that attach to towballs are available but i don't know who makes them. As for electrics, winches pull BIG amps so you would need to run heavy duty cables to the back of your car (through a cut off switch) and use an anderson plug to connect it to the winch.
