I have seen this on a Land cruiser and works great, he left it in the rear most of the time or on the tray, but it would take up the whole load area in a disco.

I take it that you've never actually lifted a highmount with cable on it

Either that or your a big strong ****er

I mean they can be lifted, but getting one out the car, dragging it up the muddy hill, attaching to the front.........

Lift my low mount in the other day with 1 hand, Big ****er descibes me pretty well

The bloke who had the cruiser tray with that Highmount cradle set up made me look like a starved dwarf.

Thats why he had wheels on it Id assume.

Well insurance wont touch me with a high-mount on the d2. So if anyone wants a high-mount make an offer

Hi

are you selling the high mount?

As for modifying the bar, I think you'd need an engineering certification for anything done to it.

Blah Blah Blah
we used to put the 8274 as we call (high mount here) on to the Defender and disco ARB bumpers. Just use spacers made out of Ali or some metal. Then use long bolts on the front of the winch to attc. But the warns are a funny thread , but they are also the same thread as the head bolts on a V8 so if you want longer bolts use them , Job done

...hey I was in first

That will be handy when you straighten out/bend the crush cans on Airbag suitable bars wont it
