Starting to fit the quick disconnect winch bar for the front. This way I do not have a permanent mounted winch on the car.

Will be build on jimnybits winch plate.

Start with measurements etc building the channel section.

Front bumper removal end of day was not difficult at all.



This is to attach winch for front to be simmilar to attachment for rear using the tow bar

Nice. Check that hitch pin though, they're often cheap bundled items. If the pin shears under load that's a big hefty item going flying. I look forward to seeing the front sorted. Chris

Here we go. Some photos from the trip.6hr drive up north to Tembe Elephant park for a few days. One of the few game lodges that lets you self-drive in your own car ... this was fantastic, beats being driven around in a group of strangers. Then another hour north up to Kosi Bay on the Mozambique border then back down south through iSimangaliso Wetland Park to the St Lucia Estuary.First up ... spot the rookie mistake with the rack loading.Jimny was absolutely outstanding off road on this trip. Nothing could stop it and we through some serious unplanned obstacles in it's way. I'm convinced it drives better in heavy sand that it does on tar. Even backwards in reverse with an elephant chasing you down the road. What an absolute pleasure.You can do so many 4x4 tracks, but nothing compares to driving in real off road, where no vehicle (or very few vehicles) have been before.
