FREE Defender winch bumper

[Sam Thompson]

Once I buy a winch, up until then it's in the shed

I can recommend the super winch EPI 12.5, I run dyneema bow rope on mine. I have a spare alloy fair lead if you go with a synthetic rope. You can have it for a donation to arbtalk:)

Actually Sam will have a problem mounting the winch on his land rover because, the winch bumper I gave away free to a fellow arborist because he advertised it for sale on the Defender forum a couple of hours after collecting it. A bespoke bumper by a welder fabricator, made about 4 years ago for the bloke I bought it from. It is very very heavy (25 kilos maybe) and you could probably knock a house down with it! It's been hot dip galvanised and painted with TTH (?) Paint, incredibly tough stuff used on forestry machines. Couple of cosmetic scrapes on it and could probably do with a paint touch up, but looks fine and is perfectly serviceable and sound, obviously no rust .

 

I bought it because at the time I fancied a winch - afterwards decided it really isn't my thing so it's just sitting there. I can get pictures if anyone is interested with out a problem

 

 

Looking around the £200 mark, currently in Penrith but I'll be heading down to Cheshire at the end of the week, so could sort something.

The above listing appeared in the for sale and wanted section of the Defender

forum.

I listed this as free to hopefully benefit a fellow arborist not to provide an opportunist the chance to make up stories and profit from denying someone else who really needed it the chance of a bit of good luck.

Sorry to anyone who really could have used it I wish you had responded earlier.

So from what Sam has posted is it up for grabs again? If so I wouldn't mind being top of the list!!

Bruce, I never got a reply to the email I originally sent you regarding a collection address or a pm via arbtalk but as it was a freebie I didn't push it as its a kind gesture to give it away for free. Either way I hope it's sorted.

If it arrives back here or you want to organise delivery with the current guardian then it's yours.

Sam has offered an apology and explanation on Members only.

 

Just as well. I was about to go £250....

Apology above, there isn't much else to say from me I don't think, other than I Have PM'd Chaffey regarding him collecting it from me. And once again, sorry.
