Show us your winches
Considering mounting another winch (to the 4 we will be getting in the autumn) and SWMBO has given the green light.
Had an ARB winch bumper and warrior winch before. Interested now in a more discreet set up.
Can’t find reliable feedback on any trays or winches out now today - so any advice, hints or tips greatfully received...
Pics always good too D3 07 SE - still going strong

D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten

The new ARB Summit bar is really nice. I put a Warn Zeon Platinum 10-s in mine.
I am guessing you don't have as many big animals to run into there, but we have many here and I wanted the protection. Not to mention a strong mount point for the winch and the ability to side pull and not rip anything off. Some of those hidden winch setups look pretty flimsy to me.

Yeah that’s the one, I even bought it from them.
If you go on devon4x4 site and search there Discovery 3/4 winch trays , there’s some fitting instructions and photos that help even though it’s a slightly different kit.
