Compact electric Winch. was created by Jimnydave84
Has any body ever tried to fit an electric winch behind one of the KAP Rock bumpers. So that its hiden out of site with only the fairlead plate or rollers showing. If so which winch would you use i know that idealy the winch has to be rated to pull 2,1/2 times the weight of my jimmy. But its finding the comprimise between a compact winch and pulling power.

Any body got any thoughts ?

cheers Dave

The Kap bumpers I have seen all have full size winches behind.
You may have to separate the solenoid box and mount it up inside the bonnet
This would give clearance for the bonnet to open
I did this on mine

You could always ring KAP and ask them the max dimensions of a winch that would fit their bumper
Hope this helps
