03 Disco Front winch mount
Hey Guys,
I have almost exhausted all channels before I've decided to bug you.
Here is my dilema. I want to mount a winch on my 03 disco, BUT, I want to keep the factory bumper and the Poly A-Frame Brushguard. I figue maybe the mesh grill will have to go, but if I look through thatarea, I cab see the frame right after the aluminum end pieces.
I know for the D1 a front 2" receiver mount was offered, but I've always wondered what would happen at a 90 degree pull well even at a 45 pul, I mean, by far I am not Einstein, but receivers were ment to pull straight not angled , right?
So in other words, I checked with the local welder, NO HELP, and I am hoping some of you have done this set and can point me in the direction to obtain one.
Your help it is always appreciated
Thanks in advance

RE: 03 Disco Front winch mount
Although I can't help you out with the geometry, I'm in a similar position. The difference being that I already have the winch and am trying to find a factory A-bar or brushguard that will work with my winch install.
Anyway, I have my winch mounted on a DAP tray that's installed behind the stock front bumper. This is called a discrete mount. The tray is about $130.
A regular poster did this set up and created a "How to". Try this link and see if it helps you out.
