winch mount?

[OBauer809]

I just bought a smittybilt 8,000 winch for my Disco II. Im now looking for a place to mount it. I dont have the cash to spend on a new bumper, so thats out of the question. I do have a brush guard thats taken a beating. Is there any way I can mount right on the bumper or something? Have any of you done this? It can be internal or external, whatever works and is cheap....

thanks alot fellas

Put the winch away till you can buy a decent bumper and suspension to handle it, you have no options other then that.

I have an upgraded suspension, ome coils and nitro shocks. Im looking into the dap discrete mount.

The winch will sit very low and be hard to get to and based on how they anchor to the frame, you will not have much strength or the ability to do much pulling except straight forward, any pulling from the side and the winch will twist.
Good luck with whatever you do and send pictures.

You can use winch. It will cost you very less and are easily affordable.

Setting yourself up for a big fail there.

Why'd you buy a winch if you didn't have a bumper to stick it on?

If you really want to try, I would get a front receiver hitch to mount somehow and buy a multimount plate and do it that way.

Good luck. I wouldn't have done it that way.

local guy is looking to part his winch and multimount. if you are interested in a multimount for $50 let me know.

reciever hitch mount is the way to go i think, have a reciever welded on to the front crossmember of your frame and then you can use it front or back, however i wouldnt reccomend side pulls, will cost you like 200$ max for this (cost me less than 100)
