Fender winch installation

[Graz]

What is the best power source for a winch on a Defender. Going all the way to the battery under the seat makes it a long cable run. A second battery install under the bonnet could be a way but where to put it?
Thanks

Exactly. I don't think you would fit one in.

I suppose you could mount a battery on the bullbar. :eek:

Cable run isnt too bad...

Mine had no issues....

its straight up the chassis rail.

And no worse than the starter cable :-)

Mine also works fine. Though I mostly go 4wding with other Landies so don't get to use it much. :cool:

straight to the seatbox is the easiest option.. just make sure you get a Traxide dual battery system in and you're sweet to go :D

The way I load up the camper trailer, ( Booze, fuel, toys, grog, fishing gear, water, alcohol, oh and food ) I'm more likely to be winching myself out!!;):D:D

Likely to end up with Tojo farm ute and a muzzo as well to recover,

Thanks for the replys. As advised, I run a cable down the chassis rail, when I find a winch bar.

Cheers

I think I saw a Defer winch bar in the markets recently

No problem with it in the battery box.

I think you'll find that's where almost everyone runs the cable to (Including LR Special Vehicles).
