Here is the Lucky8 install finished. I have included some close ups because there is some gaps, I can live with them, maybe some of you wouldn’t.
I like it. Costs all in are $1200 for tray, $900 winch, $1500 labour, $500 F55 hook & fairlead. A far cry from the $12,000 LR wanted for its install
Wow! That looks very good. I continue to be impressed with the Lucky8 mods. I had a wild hair and went with the bull bars. If I hadn't, that would DEFINITELY have been the route for me. Well done.

Fitment is a bit rough, but for that price i guess you cant compain. So, the dealer quoted you $12k for a hidden winch install?
Nice! How do you access the winch “free spool “ clutch?
When I did the pretension of the new winchrope with the remote it took quite a while to spool of the line.
So, yes I need to make something to engage the free spool.

Finally made the time to install my Lucky8 Stealth Winch and the Land Rover Skid Plate. Took a total of 20hrs over 3 days but most of the instructions were accurate and easy to follow. The three exceptions was the front parking sensors, the instructions showed them mounted backwards to how my install need them installed, the winch plate support legs needed a bunch of spacers to make contact with the frame, and the brake dams reinstall just said to zip tie, and I had to figure out where and how. But those were the only issues over 150 pages of instructions. Very happy with final result.
My LK8/Zeon 12S is going on tomorrow. It will be the first for the LR and Defender-specialty shop north of Atlanta that's doing it. They're reading/watching installation manuals/videos in preparation. I warned them about the "bricking" phenomenon with TFL's dealer. Fingers crossed!
Also getting little bitty P300 brakes in back at the same time.
What is this “bricking phenomenon”? What exactly is happening and why?
