has anyone got any pictures of a winch tray that fits inside the standard bumper. i'm hoping to get a tray fitted next week but any additional pics / ideas welcome
i've had a look colins install which is very neat but no pictures of the install

I was also looking at clintons install (link on front page) which is also very neat but sits lower
Clintons Install

a post with various winch installs would be helpful or if its any easier just email some pics to me
jon@river-it.co.uk

am probably going to buy a 8000 / 9000 lb champion winch from winchsolutions with plasma rope if the budget will stretch. i trust this is a good product from a decent supplier, any other suggestions welcome

I'll try and get some pics up of the job as it progress's

cheers :)

Have a read of my previous thread about all my thoughts on buying a winch, when i then decided not to get one!!!

got the tray going in soon so its pretty much a done deal.. we use them quite a bit up here due to the places we get to and not having one is catching me out

Thats a really nice job, I love it when winches are hidden in normal bumpers
