Bad reviews is a good indication of "Dont Bother" I can't afford for my jim to be in pieces as its my daily ride to work which is why I opted for a bolt on plate.
Shame Really as I planed on a few ORA items, Transfer Box Guide, Fuel Tank Guard so I guess they are off my list too if the quality is so poor.
Winch now for sale on here, then off on the Bay if no takers

I can defiantly tell you that the transfer box guard is a decent quality and thick about 5/6mm you wouldn't be disappointed with if for sure. Also the transfer box is pretty easy to knock is I broke the mounts on my last jimny.

I think I will have to see them in the flesh, I must say I am well and truly put off at the moment. I wonder if this is the reason everyone is out of stock of the winch plate mount ??

Im not dissing the product maybe fine with a small winch just this damn winch thing is out of control you can buy for 400 quid a 17000lb pull winch thats over 7 1/2 ton FFS i used to run 5000lb Ramsey winches for self recovery when i hasd SJs and allways got me out of trouble you can always do a double line pull after all its not like there is a time frame for getting yourself unstuck.
Only other thing is when you buy a winch shackle strop snatch block they all have a rating so why would a winch mount be diffrent :whistle:
Maybe worth a Email to Rob at Ora and ask what winch it is rated for from what i saw of it would think you would be hard pressed to get a 9000lb winch on it anyway
