series winch mount - Land Rovers Only

tonkatoy189 · 01-22-2007, 01:12 PM

hey all,
i just got my winch (warn xd9000i) and i'm getting set to fabricate a mount for it on my series 2A. i'm looking for ideas. i havent seen too many (close up) photos of them. i've seen the fairlead mounted in the bumper and above the bumper. i'm still trying to decide on that one.
where are people bolting to the frame? obviously i'm looking at the bumper mounts and the bracket that the breakfast is mounted to. i am thinking about drilling through the frame horizontaly, reinforcing with tubing through the hole and through bolting. anyone have good photos or know of sites with good photos?

thanks
david

Nice HD series bumpers with a cleanly integrated winch mount. LR bumpers fold like envelopes when you hit them at all. I think he is in WA too.

Acytually Ike is in Eugene,OR but that is still a lot closer to WA than any other sources. His HD bumpers are made of thicker metal which certainly is an advantage over the thin stock ones. They seem to fold up like tissue paper.

Check out his other stuff too, he has sliders and a lot of other neat upgrades.

My winch is bolted to a bracket that is then fastened to the frame. The front of the bracket has the fairlead on it. The front of the bracket is bolted through the bumper mounting holes with bigger bolts and the back of the bracket has a clamp that goes to the underside of the frame horns so there is no drilling of the frame involved. It is a commercially made bracket from Koenig Winch out of Texas.
