Thread: Winch- Front or Rear

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

That bloke seems to be 'mounting' an XD9000i Portable. It weighs 47 kg. That is more than two bags of cement!

Or less than 1 of the older UK sized cement bags! I spent many years lugging those 100cwt bags about. Man up
