I thought I heard a nice rasping v8, I looked round, and it was Pete, in his much modified Strange Rover!

Right that's it, your off my Christmas card list....  Pete

You need one of those bumper stickers I saw on a Defender once - "Your Skid Stops Here"

Last few bits of welding finished, bent up some recovery points out of 18mm bar, cut holes in the front face of the bumper, welded them through and onto a piece of 8mm plate welded to the rear 8mm plate (should be able to pull just about anything with them )

Wow. Can't believe how different it looks when painted.

Cheers chaps, had a look at the front today, plenty of room for the winch once all the superficial plastic removed and the air con fan, don't need it any more since fitting the electric fans to the other side of the rad... It won't stick out any further than the original bumper...

Also got the rear winch sorted, picked up a broken old one, stripped it down, fixed it and repainted it, should be OK for a while... Pete

That is one bit of kit now are you past 3 ton yet

Pete your a very bad man my cook has banned me from your posts, reckons they give me way too many ideas

as soon as I get some free time a rear winch bar for the Ff is on the agenda.

Then a winch for the front been wanting one of those sense the TD6 so this car is going to get one

cant wait to see how you power them both up, to be honest the wiring is one of the reasons I'v been putting

off getting a winch on the front keep up the great work

Mr G... probably getting close... I wouldn't want it blowing away you know...

Ziggy..

Going to put another battery in the boot, Joe90 did a good write up on that in the WIKI... then run each winch off it's own battery, with isolators and fuses...

Modern winches don't use half as much juice as ones of old, the Comeup uses 380amp on full load (which is rarely, if ever reached) so not the battery killers they used to be.... Pete
