Default 2004 Discovery Winch

Is it possible to attach a winch to a factory nudge bar on a 2004 Disco? (Sorry if this is a dumb question). I will eventually get around to replacing both front and rear bumpers while adding a 2" lift, but for now I'm curious if I can mount using stock equipment.

*If so, any winch recomendations? Thanks!

Anything is possible but functional....Nope. The hardware/nudgebar aren't what I would call heavy duty.

12000 lb. Off-Road Vehicle Electric Winch with Automatic Load-Holding Brake

You could do a frame mounting/ discreet mount

We don't, we're always just guessing and getting lucky!

Which brackets do you speak of?

they make the set up so much simpler......keeps you from leaving your plate on the ground while you're getting out of ditch


then getting in a hurry and leaving it there, then spending a couple of hours going back and looking for it, then not finding it, then getting a ticket for not having it. I did all of those things.
