Thread: Discreet winch by devon4x4 fitted in Melbourne

I know the Devon one is pretty amazing but this is a good alternative ....thanks

I have just now seen a D3 with a discreet mount winch in my Car park at work (In Melbourne).

I had to dash out but I'll take some shots later and leave a note for the driver. Unless it's someone's here?

Silver D3 with snorkel etc. Little Collins street- underground car park. Down near King street.

Just spoke to the Gent. He had it done at Peninsula Rangie.

He was very happy with them, although he did say that his requirements now would be better met with a b/bar with provision for a front mounted tow ball for his van.

Great, thanx, I'll give these guys a call and see what they say. At least they have some experience at having fitted one of these discrete ones before...!

I'd be interested if anyone has one of their rear wheel carriers.

I called them a couple of weeks back with a similar question... but they don't have any stock and they don't currently have an Australian manufacturer. I was actually chasing their rear wheel carrier at the time.

I spoke to these guys (emailed actually since they won't give out their phone number) and they import theirs from the UK like the others seem to. Only problem is that none of the discreet winch mounts available (apart from the LR genuine one) seem to have ADR compliance (Australian Design Rules). That means that if you're in a smash, basically you've got something fitted that doesn't comply with Australian laws... = no insurance if someone wants to get picky.

I decided it wasn't worth the risk, or the $7,500 that a LR genuine kit will set you back, and just got a bull bar with winch fitted instead. Doesn't look nearly as good, but at least your insurance isn't voided!
