Default Series/Defender winch bumper question

Has anyone mounted a Defender front winch bumper to a Series rover before? I'd like to mount my Warn XD9000 to the front of my Stage 1 but am unsure as to whether the frame horns are the same.

Off head I canna remember if they are the same, defender one is slightly wider IIRC. Whatever, you can always get the grinder and welder out and fabricate soem suitable attachments!

Yes. It should fit. I run a defender ARB on my 109.

One thing: the mounting holes for a defender are larger than a series 3. So you'll have to drill out the mounting holes to make work. But this isn't a big problem anyway.

Awesome, just what I wanted to hear. Thanks.
