winch fit to discovery 3

[John Shutler]

could you not bash it on yourself?

 

i'm doing mine with a mixture of LR instructions and youtube...

 

probably... but the amount i can earn in the time that it would take me to fit it, it just doesnt make sence. i might as well get someone to do it once and properly insted of messing around with it and probably having to pay someone to look at it in the end anyway

 

im pretty good at cutting trees, but not so good at motor mechanics etc

fair enough...

ah but your 90 can't carry 7 people,, in comfort.... from here to the alps and back.....at 30 mpg.....

very true but actually mines pretty good on fuel mines pre one of the older ones, pre turbo, well seems better than my mates turbo version

I dont envy you that job Ad. If you need any help or dry workshop space, just shout/ help yourself.

well,, started it all again 9am,, just finished 8pm,,

 

the spider was hiding in there..

 

what do you think? have a little write up to follow,,if wanted..

 

i still have to put on some edge finishing on the cut bumper,, incidentally i cut mine up instead of using the black one,, only thing left is the split charge,,

is that a demountable tray for the winch so you can remove it when your not using it?

[ad15]

to be honest if you did that you'd be left with a BIG hole,,,most d3's with winches have a "hidden" mount,,, the issue with that is maintenance and free spooling can be tricky too,

 

i went with the external as it will be used for work, i need to get at it easily for maintenance etc etc,,,

 

 

also , if you took the tray off you'd have the vertical pieces sticking out,, think plod might have something to say about that,

 

will post more pics when i can

[liamjordan]

nice! havent seen an external winch mount on a d3 before!

where you going to fix your number plate to now?

[ad15]

it's on,, there is a mount, it's on with the cover,,,, didn't take pics as it hides the winch etc,,

 

tbh i'm not a fan of the way the number plate mounts,, might move to a roof rack mount
