Great job! I just welded a bullbar to my winch bumper to take lights but this is next level. I will steal your way of making radiused corners - genius. Keep it up! e
Science James . Yeah those corners turned out ok, but , like everything I build , it's a " suck it and see " approach . As in, no plans other than I'm sure it will come to me as I build. That why I don't talk a lot during construction. My brain is planning like crazy so I don't like like a dumb ass
Next Land Rover I get will have a C channel front bumper. A good choice for a winch mount and jacking points. I like that you can have an original looking bar, but have it many times stronger than the factory one. Best bar I've ever had on a car/4x4 was one I made for a Landcruiser many years ago. 150mm *mm thick C Channel, that thing was like the front of a tank. Sure better than many expensive Pretty bars that most buy.
vaughan warburton Thanks mate, I'm no engineer though. Some areas could be better . I mainly do the videos to show anyone with a bit of creativity could give it a stab. Of course, this sort of work only really applies to an old thing like my Land Rover. I couldn't imagine doing the same thing to a 2017 Hilux and looking like it " suits" the vehicle
That is the best winch upgrade I've seen on an old Rover. Cheers! Well deserved beer.

You're awesome dude. I bought a series 3 109 ex military beast today. Delivered in 3 days time I can't wait to test her out.
I love your Vids mate , informative and fun to boot. psi like the old raleigh bike on the shed wall !
Mark R Thanks mate ! I bought that old bike when I was 14 , that's 32 years ago ! .
having an E-powered winch has some big drawbacks to. If your battery dies, it's all over as well.

Nice job. Simple and effective. What brand of bull bar is that or did you fab that too?
pjb Thanks mate !. I bought the bull bar online a while ago , can't take credit for it. Doesn't have any brand on it , but it came off a Defender
I've seen some dangerous things on youtube but sticking your head in a highlift jack gets the gold medal.
Absolutely, total stupid action.
Why don't you post landy vids anymore, they are awesome
rough as guts
