That sits nice there.
Great approach angle.
 :D

thanks mate my thoughts exactly ..some of these winch bumpers do stick out too far and tend to bury themseles on a sharp incline

[Jake]

Thats why i got the Scorpion one.
It does'nt stick out any further than the original bumper.
Shame about the massive fairlead spoiling this pic (not my car)
When i get round to buying a winch i'll be getting one of the sexy little Devon 4x4 alloy fairleads for Plasma rope.
So much smaller.
 :D

i,m assuming you had to modify the fixing brackets on the bumper to fit? how does that affect it under load and did you have to modify it much?

origianl brackets were not used .new vertical plates were welded under the orignal base plate for winch to sit inside the chassis rails and rear of bumper bolted vertically thru chassis.performed well when pulling disco out of deep ruts at sibbertoft. :D

Mmmm well smart. Just ordered a tailor made bumper too - got a defender one sitting on the garage floor! :roll:
