Yeah, that was a really nice installation!

There’s space for the winch further back but, from memory, possibly not enough room underneigh for the mounting bolts to be further back.. if that makes sense? If you need the mount itself to be further back then possibly a harder puzzle still. Might be easier to fabricate something?

Very good pictures, thanks!

Looks hard to get it further back for sure, but its not alot needed by the looks of it!
My winch is a few cm higher than yours though, so i might have to fabricate my own as you mentioned..

I`m installing the winch now, and it looks like i will be getting it close to flush with the bumper, if i use a glider fairlead.. So probably going for syntetic rope..

Moved the winch as far back as possible, and will be moving the fairlead mount wall 35mm back now..

But the next obstacle, is where to install the solenoid, as it is kinda big..
Dont want it sitting in the rain/dust/salt in the front, so aiming for alittle more protected place. (not that there is room in front without cutting frame members)

Where have you guys installed youre solenoid?

Drilled holes, measuring cutouts for bumper and where to cut off the fairlead mount:


The solenoid is kinda big.


This is the only place where its actually room for it.. But i dont know if i can drill holes there yet.

Looking good. I mounted mine in between the windscreen washer reservoir and the bulkhead. Not the nearest job mind you so I won’t post a pic lol

I had the same problem and I also needed a bigger battery so I've made this.
