Thread: Prospeed hidden winch

I'm pretty sure I want this. Not so much the little bar, but an off-the-shelf winch solution would be great.

Unless you want to mount lights I cannot see why this is better than the discreet winch mount I have. The bar is behind the bumper so would offer not much protection. But as the bar is angled back it may well pass ADR requirements. (My opinion only)

I would be very keen to get this winch, would be great if it was available here.

Looks awesome!

Have contracted ProSpeed and they are going to provide a shipped cost to Australia for me.

They commented that it wouldn't be legal in Australia so I have asked them to explain how they come to that conclusion.

One can assume this means they have not done any design testing for compliance with our ADRs. I am looking to see if they do a similar thing for the UK market. As here aftermarket ADR compliance means the item does not interfere with the original components fitted to the vehicle by the manufacturer. Vis a bullbar still ensuring the crash cans dealing with side and frontal impact will still work correctly

Prospeed UK has indicated that they are now in the Production phase of the and new HWM and expect to release it to the market by the end of Jan., latest Feb.

Latest update is the hidden winch will be finalised by end of Jan with production from then so available in February.

After going through the costings to replace the D4 I am now seriously looking at rebuilding the D4 with a winch and bar plus a few improvements. Rather than waiting for whatever Defender looks like or buying an LC200. Cost so far looks to be less than $10k which is a hell of a lot less than my other options.

Waiting on the freight costs and also looking at the Lucky8 version but they both look the same on the face of it

Should be an interesting year for me on the build front
