I'm thinking of welding my own winch mount/ bumper for my disco 1 , Does anyone have a detailed diagram of one , possibly with dimensions. What different ones are available "of the shelf"? I have also thought of making a system to transferthe winch from the front to the back. What mounts are there available at the rear? Do people use double battery systems when they have a winch mounted? Any info is greatly appreciated.

I'm going to mount my winch on a 2" hitch mount and set it up for front / rear use...

I'm also going to build my own tube type bumper this season... Gotta buy a pipe bender and then I'm all set...

Good Luck... I'm just going to piece mine together one part at a time...

Start at the frame mounts and work my way out...

yeah thought about that (hitch mount=towbar,, right?) thats probably the way I'm gonna go also.. how much can the rear towbar take.. in Denmark mine is the maximum rate allowed on a privae car which is a trailer of 3500kg. I have a warn xd9000 winch. Can te towbar handle that with full winching capabilities? What about the twin batteries setup is that recommended?
