A friend of mine has a rear mounted winch in the back of his sj, the way hes done his is to weld 2 supporting arms off the chassic legs up to a mount on the boot floor, then runs the cable through a fairlead on the rear door,
is there any better ways,
cheers Dan

Was it a custom fab job off the ORA or do they now have these availble, could proberly use both my ORA bumper on top of that and just cut a hole for the fail lead !
Got any more pictures mate

its not too bad as the truck has a 5" ish lift (3" springs 2" spring spacers)
we dont have a rear winch at the moment - the previous guy had a warn tabor, but the ideal winch would be a goldfish from David Bowyer
