So, today (Bank Holiday Monday, I had a few hours off... I spent yesterday - Sunday - lazing around and recouperating :S ), I started fitting the ORA front winch bumper...
A few photos here, more in my own blog.
Fitting the brackets -
Test fit of the bumper -
Winch on the back of the bumper -
Fits! JUST!
Hmmm, a bit too tight -
So took some more metal off -
Flipped the free-spool over -
Getting there! -
Wiring next, and a dashboard control switch...

The bumper brackets look just like the ones on my ARB bumper.

My rocklobster box came back from the wizard of all things gearing today, many thanks to Rockwatt! 
It went off as I mentioned to Rich that the bolts didn't fit through the cradles holes, apparently sometime in it's life it's been drilled and re-tapped to 10mm, whereas the case should have 8mm mounting holes... Not happy with this, Rich took it back - as he rightly said, it would have weakened the box's mounts - and changed half the case for me...
While it was there...
I asked him to fit my new speedo ring (27 teeth, should be right with my 235/75s I hope) and the pickup mount, and change one of the flanges for me which had the wrong bolt hole pattern (PCD)...
And, errr... hee hee, change the internal selectors so that I can have two-wheel-drive-low when needed
Here's the shift pattern etched into the top of the box...
What a STAR! Cheers Rich... err - "Rockwatt"
To remind me... will put a copy on my dashboard eventually...
