smo Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Is it possible, and has anyone managed to mount a winch on a freelander?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 90 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Our local landrover dealer had a G4 freelander there for a while, This had a removable winch and a receiver sticking out the bumper front and rear for it to fit in. Didn't look all that great to be honest! only one ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hmm, i'm think more stealth behind the bumper, or nicely set within rather than some bolt on the front fugly thing! So do freelander owners never get stuck, or do they just get out the shovel rather than winch themselves out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 No we just read the ground better The is a nice chap in NZ that had a V6 with a winch mounted in it. Camels have winch mounts front and rear same as the G4 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 This is about to go to Ebay two drop pins boult to the bumper and you them have a M6000 fits to a flat ish plat with a ring which the drop pin fits to... This bumper would hold a cradle no problem with a little fettling Don't spose you have any pics do you Jules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hmm, not quite what i had imagined but thats all google showed me too!! I might have to fab my own then when i shift the 90 and replace it with a hippo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would think on a D-lander it would look good as it would protect your steering and the nose. Blippie has some pic's of 581 with the winch he got for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not for the D-Lander Jules....thats got a custom designed water jet cut aircraft ali plate coming....designed in SolidWorks by me (at work!) and being fabbed as i type...well, this week, will arrive friday I'm thinking of a "normal" freelander, for replacing the 90!

Blippie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah, so want to Geraint's mod to my wife's TD4. It would look great with a Superwinch on the front... Harvey runs Celtic 4x4 now ... www.celtic4x4.co.uk The Camel and G4 winch arrangements are slightly different. On the Camel, the demountable winch sits on a plate with hole for the Dixon Bate pin. On the G4 it is on a box tube bracket that fits on to a reciever, again front and rear. Cheers Blippie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1701 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 what about mounting a winch to some chains then chaining them to the front recovery points (possibly need to uprate the mountings), then running it on long cables, ive allways liked this as an idea for an electric winch as it could be used front and back, and kept safely stowed away when not in use. There may be problems with the idea that older wiser hands may bring out tho:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
