Anyone running one of these on their truck or know anyone who is running one? Not really looking to get an aftermarket front bumper as of yet but would like to have a winch for getting out of tricky spots. They say the tray fits either a warn 8000lb winch or a t-max 9500lb winch in the description. Any idea what other winches may fit this mount?

 

i don't know much about these. i came across them while googling stuff. just thought i'd show you other options, and you can see them mounted on the vehicle.

Hidden Winch Mount for Discovery

 

Just remember that if you have a stock suspension, it will be too for good ground clearance once you add that tray that hangs right in the way of every dip, log or rock on the trail. A 2" lift would be a plus.

 

that install on the white D2 looks awesome!

 

Would this hidden winch work on a d1?

 

The part number i posted is for a D1, there is another part number for the d2

 

Any winch should work as long as its narrow enough to fit between the frame rails you just might have to redrill a couple mounting holes. I dont think I would go any bigger then 9000lb or I think youll bend the mount. Hilltoppersx had one for sale a while back you mite want to PM him and see if he still has it.

 

How much is it? I went to their website and used their animated catalogue but it only has pictures and part numbers...

 

i sold mine to someone on the forum here... but here is some better pics.

Thanks for the pics! Makes it easier to visualize what i'd be working with. Now if i can just find one second hand i'd be set. There's not really much to it honestly, might be able to fab something up myself.. Hrmm.
