I have agreed a deal with a custom fabrication company that will supply me with a custom built winch mount for the L405. However the minimum order is 5 units.

So I will have a few of these in my garage and at £580 a pop it would be good to move a couple on

Is anyone interested?

If nobody else is making them, I’d try offering them on the US forums.

I might be. Any details or renderings on the finished design and what winches will fit? 2021 P525 | Eiger Gray

The bolt mounting pattern is industry standard (254x114.3mm)

I will show the finished product once its built. But given the vast amount of space behind the bumper, it will fit a whole array of winches from Warn to Goldfish, Raptors etc.

I will be doing a deal with the company building the high speed winch for me and should be able to also offer these direct at a discounted price.

I am building in a 13,500lb winch with a 216:1 gearing made with high grade carbon steel gearbox. 28 meters of 13mm synthetic winch rope with a breaking strength of 30,000lb it also includes 2 wireless winch controls and 1 wired controler.

I will post up some pictures of the build and final product and also step by step installation pictures etc.

I am also making sure the manufacturer's accommodate the adaptive cruise control radar as this is mounted in the existing crash bar at the moment.

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing the build pics. Keep me posted 2021 P525 | Eiger Gray

I’m intrigued. Not that I wouldn’t respect anyone who bolts a winch to the front of there L405. Why?

Maybe secretly I like knowing that in an apocalyptic situation I have all the kit I need

After having high performance Audis for a number of years, I made the move to a Range Rover because it has the go anywhere reputation. So in 2020 i will be embarking on a Silk Trail type journey across Europe visiting all the historical WW1 and WW2 sites and intend to exclusively travel across country on green lanes and off road. So I need every eventuality covered.

So the idea is to test everything in the UK every scenario I may encounter etc.

If possible, I intend to do this to raise money for RAF veterans to provide befriending and welfare support on behalf of the RAF association. But before I can do that and commit to anything, I need to be sure the vehicle is up to the job

Well ladys and gents my winch has arrived, and the surgery begins monday the 18th November to install it. I've rigged up my cabling already.

Im very interested - might cost me a bomb to get it to Australia, but I'm very keen none the less!!! (MY17 SDV8 with radar cruise)

Will it be hidden like these ones??

It will be hidden and in my opinion a much better job. For some reason they cut out a section of bumper where the parking sensors mount, for no apparent reason. Mine actually looks cleaner with less of a change to the exterior.

It's dark at the moment so I cant take a good picture but i will post a couple of snaps non the less

Regarding your question on the adaptive cruise, I had to move and re mount the radar to a different location.

I used epoxy liquid met, and I bonded 3 bolts to the plastic bumper so that i could re-mount the ACC in a different location.

That's a very neat looking job

Thanks Alistair

I will do write up soon
