Further to the query by another member here re: which winch to get... any suggestions for easy mounting if you do not have the ARB bull bars? What about a trailer hitch attachment? Any feedback please... |

Several have used a front hitch and a portable winch mount. Then the winch can be used front or rear. You will have to wire in the connections to both ends of the vehicle though. |

That's what I have decided to do. After posting the question here and then asking some friends to contact ARB in Aus I have decided that the ARB and a winch are too much for my 06 CRD. I am putting on the Franken Lift and am now looking for a bull bar that can be welded on to the front reciever somehow to allow me to push stuff around a bit. Not packing a winch around on the washboard roads everyday will save my suspension, I hope. |

Claudio That looks awesome. I too would like to see how that is mounted. Also, is a 12,500 or larger winch a waste of money? |
