2 winch questions

2 quickies but one may cxl the other

1 can i fit a winch onto this bumper

2 ive been offered a winch which is supposed to be in working order but needs a solenoid pack , so would it be working without a the selenoid ? how easy is it to replace and cost roughly.lol

sorry i dont know mec or model




thanks trbod

might have problems fitting it to that bumper as i think i spotted it has whitworth tapping and the winch is metric:doh:

the threads in the bumper are imperial and the winch ones are metric so you will need a smoke grinder to re thread the holes

You haven't posted a link for the bumper ... and how can anyone give you an accurate answer on the second without knowing which winch .. some winches don't use solenoids, they're hydraulic ..

But .. I've known people to plate behind the standard bumper and use it, I wouldn't recommend it myself.

I have it's commonly known as Tong Offroad Centre. Parkwood is the posh name

any good fella ?

Deep ruts and woodland, plenty of places to put in some fresh dents into your panels, I would strongly recomend not going on the red routes without winch or tree sliders! oh and don't forget to pull your wing mirrors in! . Other than that it's GREAT! some nice deep water as well! check out Kirton off road centre as well.

Yeah Tong's great ..

Front wing in the following pic was done sliding into a tree on some tree roots at Tong. AT's are not too great there, but I never got 'properly' stuck .. at least I recovered myself and didn't need towing out of anywhere!!

think ill go when ave sorted mi winch out , ill put a post up week be4 see if anyones intrested
