Hi lads,

Has anyone mounted a winch on a P38? came across this and was tempted to buy one but they all sold out before i got a chance to give it some serious thought.

RANGE ROVER P38 FRONT WINCH TRAY 1994 TO 2002 *GENUINE* on eBay (end time 16-Dec-10 20:48:52 GMT)

also im wondering which winch to buy, i found this ELECTRIC WINCH 12V RECOVERY 4x4 9500 lb WINCHMAX BRAND on eBay (end time 20-Dec-10 19:40:32 GMT) and thought it might be a good one. then im trying to figure out how it will look? im mounting a front A-Bar too so trying to figure out what it might look like. anyone got any pics or seen any pics??

you may want a bigger winch like a 12000lb one (6 tons v 4.75)

Interesting. from what ive read it recommended that it be 1.5 times the GVW? you think more than that?

this is what it looks like fitted.

Personal choice, but accidental shock loading v static pull rated

not suggesting anything other than reading it

I bought one of those those 4. Bought it to keep the pattern and help me developping a removable winch box.

I may sell it next year.

How about selling it to me when you take the pattern off it?? As sending it to me next week!!!

You are lucky.
I've seen some primetech on ebay.co.uk with a synthetic rope for very good prices.
Since you want offroad much or do challenge, i can't see the point paying the extra money for Superwinch or Warn winches.

Pays your money and takes your chance.
Super winch, warn are good too.
Goldfish winches seem to get reasonable reviews too.

I would avoid the really cheap winches as your find spares a problem and poor quality too.

so what about this winch?? seems to come with a lot of bits and pieces.
