While i was browsing the pictures on this website i noticed a couple of jimnys had a winch installed without having to go to the expense of putting an ARB bumper on. That would suit me fine if i could do that as i dont often go off road and i would like to keep my jimny looking as normal as poss but a winch would be very handy could anyone please explain how they have put the winch on and what have they connected it to does it go on to a tray then weld straight to the chassis or what ?
There are a couple with built in winches in the pictures, the most recent being from Colin F (see
COLIN
)
Colin has said he will send in pictures of the mount as this subject is very popular!

Thanks for the reply Martin that is exactly what i want to do to mine just cant work out how Colin managed to fit it all behind there i have seen those winches and to get a decent 6000lb winch jammed into there with no mess is not an easy job i cant wait to see his further posts on the subject. O and im a new user been looking round for a decent site for the Jimny this is excellent top job.
No Pictures to be found clint maybe you should try and post them again and if you want you can email me them at cleaningwindows@talktalk.net as i have just bought my winch and could do with all the help i could get. Kevan
