Have a look at the bloke busting his pooper valve, built like a brick outhouse, good hernia material and slipped discs, leave all that to the young blokes that haven't already stuffed their backs, Regards Frank.

Interesting thread.
I am contemplating a rear winch (Warn 9000) on my Defender 130 HCPU. To get it in the position I want, it will involve chopping a section out the rear cross member and grafting in a reinforced section which will need to include the tow bar mounting
The only thing stopping me at the moment is time. I will need to remove the long range tank, but I am hoping that I can avoid removing the HCPU tub.
The plan/design is all drawn up (in my head)...just need some time.
I often travel alone - I currently have a Warn 9000 up front and front and rear diff locks, so adding a rear winch will just be the last piece of the puzzle.
Cheers

Andrew,
When you get to that point it might be worth making contact with these guys. Their trayback challenge truck has done the Malaysian Rainforest a coupke times and they sell the rear "graft on" winch mount. Too heavy to post, but they might help you with measurements and templates.
