Exactly. I don't think you would fit one in.

I suppose you could mount a battery on the bullbar.

Cable run isnt too bad...

Mine had no issues....

its straight up the chassis rail.

And no worse than the starter cable :-)

Mine also works fine. Though I mostly go 4wding with other Landies so don't get to use it much.

straight to the seatbox is the easiest option.. just make sure you get a Traxide dual battery system in and you're sweet to go

Hoping to drag me out at Xmas time Graz

The way I load up the camper trailer, ( Booze, fuel, toys, grog, fishing gear, water, alcohol, oh and food ) I'm more likely to be winching myself out!!

Likely to end up with Tojo farm ute and a muzzo as well to recover,

Thanks for the replys. As advised, I run a cable down the chassis rail, when I find a winch bar.

Cheers

I think I saw a Defer winch bar in the markets recently
