Winch for Land Rover bar

[darobins87]

Hi there,

I have a 2000 model defender extreme with the standard Land Rover branded bull bar. It is quite similar to an ARB bar and has cut outs and holes to mount a winch but I have had trouble finding a winch that will fit!

Does anyone have the bar im talking about and if so any info on winches?

Thanks a lot!
Dave

Ive got a 2002 and looking at winches now as well, I think I will have the same Bull Bar so i will watch this thread with interest.

Cheers

Sweet!

I've tried fitting a champion C9500 HS which seemed like a great winch but the motor end was too long. The winch itself phyisically fit in the bar but because the motor end was too long it meant the mounting holes didn't line up.
I'm going to try the Magnum 9000lb winch so I'll let you know how that goes

Cheers

I think Im going to go the Tigerz11 cheap, reliable (hopefully) its had ok reviews here and elsewhere and the Defender is too good.

I have been bogged badly every year religiously for about the last 7 years much to my wifes amusment. That was until I got the defender. Almost coming up to my two year aniversary with out a bogging. Maybe Im not trying hard enough.

Hope you have a welder?



I had to offset my winch mount when I fitted one. Note the offset holes so the motor cleared the chassis rail. Additional reinforcing added to rear or course.

Isuzurover,

Yep thats the exact problem I have but thought I'd rather not tamper with the bar if I could find a winch that fits!

Pormpaul,

I know a guy who got 12000 tigerz11 winch and he loves it! Doubt that would fit either though and I think the magnum comes out of the Warn factory so hoping for a quality product.

Anyway hoping I rarely have to use it! Did some of the powerlines tracks the other week on all terains with low tread and the traction control blew me away! such capable vehicles.

Also i see Fossicker under your user name. I know this isn't the hobby section but any chance you could give me some advince on where to do a bit of gold panning??

I think fossicker refers to the number of posts of made here not due to any hobby or past time. But I hear stories of people finding lots of stones and gold out here. A lot of Tourists come out and go through the old diggings and apparently do pretty well.

If your ever coming through let me know and I will try and hook you up.

I cant weld so which winch will bolt straight in!

cheers

Haha sorry mate I'm new to this whole forum thing. But thanks for the kindness!

When I get hold of the Magnum I'll let you know how it goes.
