Winch mount success, Winch Success, Dyneema Rope Failure.... Had a great little trip last weekend (1st in the P38, LOVE this car) which was also a great opportunity to give the winch mount a bit of a test in situ.
After some easy recoveries with all going well but not under heavy load, my mate managed to get his Disco 2 well and truly jammed in a couple of muddy ruts up against the side steps, and on a cornered rut.
We thought this a good opportunity to put the winch under some heavy load.... We were correct, the 13,000lb winch was working harder than I had ever heard it work before, winch mount held perfectly and the Dyneema rope was the first to go. So shovels and snatch it was.
VERRY Happy with the strength of the mount points, I'll post some pics over the weekend of the mount and extra brackets. Cheers
