The owner has thrown a fortune at that.

l think it looks alright actually, although l wouldn't put most of that on ours.

l guess if you are overlanding then a winch and roof rack at least, are essential.

From my own experience, an electric front mounted winch will only be able to pull you deeper into whatever you are stuck in!

Far better to keep a small hand operated winch and a suitable nylon rope or strap inside the motor and then you can pull from literally any direction.

This combination is a lot lighter and cheaper too.

Is that one of those Fat Runner roof racks that costs nearly a grand and leaves you with just 3kg of load capacity?
I agree with Roger on the winch.
Bull bar is pointless weight.
But I guess they like the way that it looks and that's all that matters!

Couldn't agree more and am glad it was someone else who said it. I've used a ratchet strap once to get me out of a rut and used brush /tree branchs in a feld forest to fill holes and extracate my sad and sorry soul.
