Winch for Pick-Up?

[scotspine1]

Does anyone know where I can get a winch fitted to a Nissan D22 Pick-up in Scotland or the north of England?

 

Thank you.

the arb bumper in that picture is real heavy duty but the mountings let it down badly. i have got the same bar on my hilux with a 9500lb warn winch fitted and it flexs the bumper brakets under heavy load. i spent a day with the welder and grinder and beefed it up and now it works a treat. alternatively just buy a winch tray then cut your stock bumper, brace the front crossmember on all sides then weld winch tray to it and brace back along side of chassis rails to stop flex. done it quite a few times now its pretty easy

Can highly recomend both http://www.pwsacc.co.uk/bumpers.htm and TBR, as mentioned previously. My winch mount came from PWS 4 years ago and has survived a fair amount of abuse and seen off two winches.

My suspension came from TBR, the service was very good, and they also supply winch mountings.

A discrete mounting is more solid than the current ranges of winch bumpers which now must be tested to the same strength as the previous bumper mountings to ensure air bag compatability.

The vast majority of winches have the same mounting pattern, so don't be drawn into buying the winch from the mounting supplier. If you are looking to use the winch for assisted felling then buy bigger than you would for self recovery. I've gone from 8000lb, through 9000lb and now use a 12000lb.

Electric is cheapest, but for regular use i would definately go for hydraulic.
