Thread: Removable winch mount

Could you please show us a picture of the winch tray and the part of the whinch tray that slides into the receiver?

Looks great! Just what I have been dreaming of while wheeling alone.

Here's the tray I used - it seems very sturdy and about $100. I took my handles off, didn't need em

Here's the Warn one - bit more pricey but better brand name
Warn Industries - Mounting Systems: Multi-Mount Winch Mounting System

There's loads of other ones around too. Those are the two I looked at though. This site has another couple
Detachable Winch Mounts, Cradle Winch Mount - TruckSpring.com

I had a few doubts about them initially but the ARB guy said Warn wouldn't put their name on it if they didn't trust it and he reckoned he'd never heard of one failing /shrug Ended up buying the Tigerz one anyways for the price and Tigerz Australia also said they'd never had one fail.

Junosi

Do you have drawings/dimensions, etc of your mount.

Save me having to reinvent the wheel.

Regards

I can't find them at the moment =/ Dave (DT-P38) borrowed it for a while to take some dimensions etc - hopefully he's got some.

Yep, have some pic's but am just on here checking out last minute postings/info for greendale gathering... will try and get them off the I'm an individual-phone and post early next week.

Ok, for those who want them here are the pic's I took of the "Junosi Discreet Winch Mount" that was to assist me in making my "copycat" version. They don't really tell the full story, but use them if you want. FWIW, I am jumping off this as a DIY now anyway.

I saw Junosi's completed set up first hand at the Greendale gathering and if I have it right he may be getting a batch made up (heavy duty steel professionally welded and powder coated). Seeing as I am (at best) a novice/beginner backyard welder, and I have to spend about $100 just on raw materials, I will be putting myself down as number 1 in waiting for the Junosi Mount.

Clark, can you confirm that I got that 'batch approach' correct please. And also how do I go about ordering/buying one. From memory, Martyn was interested to buy as well.

Hoo Roo, Dave and the pretty pig

P.S. Paul at Hard Range mentioned he could probably list them for you on their website or perhaps put up a link of some sort if you were interested.

Not sure when, or ever that will happen I'm afraid. I had a couple more made up by a friend who has since run out of 2" reciever steel (the hitch part) - it's a pain to get hold of. It is very DIY'able though, particulaly if you frankenstein a heavy duty tow hitch off of another vehicle for the 2" receiver part.

ah well, back to the "one day" DIY again!
