99 D2 Build "Old Faithful"
Dang it I did!!!! Grrrr and I was there with only 1 12K left. Knowing my luck she'll be long gone by the time I get back.
Do you guys think that will fit into the D1 ARB bumper it list XD9000 & M8000 as compatible. I know I have to drill the roller fairlead which is common, but that 12K looked pretty big vs the 9K.

Hop back in the rover, you got it!
I can't offer an opinion as to whether or not it will bolt up, take a tape measure!
I can tell you that the PO of my truck had a 10,000 ENGO winch installed before me, and the HF 12,000 bolted right up to the same bolt pattern
I walked out right at 300.00 after tax for the 12k winch. I had to use some 1/2 inch thick collar spacers to position the larger body of the winch from the bumper. I also replaced the ching chong looking bolts with some good quality ones as I had to get longer ones due to the collar spacers anyways. It is mounted and I now have zero clearance issues. I’ll finish up mounting the solenoid box, and connections tomorrow.
Some LED's I found inside a wrecked Honda at a junk yard lol. They're awesome at night. I did a 500 mile round trip to grab the ARB Bumper and I only had 2 people flash at me & I honestly think it was the 85watt PIAA's they flashed me for. I changed their bulbs out to 55watt bulbs today. Also it's not uncommon to get flashed even when I was running the PIAA H4/9003's people would flash me. So we'll see, but man for traveling at night I could see all the reflectors clear as a bell, road signs, and the road no problem. When I grabbed em from the junk yard I did re-aim my headlights (needed to after the 3inch lift anyways just never got around to it). They have a darn clear cut off, and almost as good as my LR3 on the glare factor.
I couldn't find a brand name, but they look high quality.

Yep we woke up in SETX yesterday morning to 3-6inches of snow!! It was SO beautiful!
I didn't have to cut anything to mount the 12K winch into the D1 ARB Bumper. I just spaced it away from the bumper 1/2 an inch with fender washers/collar spacers (I ran out of fender washers, so the collar spacers are temporary & I will get more when I go to town just wanted it mounted up in the meantime). I had to space it off the bumper because the main ground was hitting the bumper & the gearbox was also touching on the other side. After Spacing it 1/2 back it sits perfectly.
