Default Lucky8 (proud rhino) Winch Carrier install

Looking at the Proud Rhino

I see some folks saying install was 10+ hours - is this possible?

I took mine to a local independent, while they don’t work exclusive on land rovers they do work on them. I don’t think they’ve done that install before, it took them 16 hours, at least that’s what they charged me.

Even though I have installed several winches on Jeep OEM bumper and aftermarket steel bumpers and don’t think twice about tackling that job, I read through these instructions and said Screw That; took it to a local Land Rover Only shop. They knew about this but had never done it. Like mikeborden above, I think they charged me for two full days. It took longer than 2 days but they didn’t work on it the whole time. Probably one of those things where they would have only taken half as long for the next one.
