Can you design and fabricate parts?
Are you willing to wait for a winch bar to come along second hand?
Also consider you'll want to upgrade your charging system and possibly the battery.
Oh, and 1-2K spent on the capability of your car (and a hand winch) might be a lot more rewarding than having a winch on the front.
Not experienced/confident in fabricating something like a winch mount, and I don't really want to wait for the hens teeth that are used winch bars. Just wondering if there is a manufacturer that makes a bolt-in winch tray so I don't need to take out my perfectly fine bullbar, or if there is another simpler way of mounting it. I would have to get a fabricator to modify my bar (if possible) and install a tray to accommodate a winch.
That is a valid point, I would love to throw a lift and muddies on but for the moment I'm just looking at getting myself out of trouble if I get stuck in the middle of nowhere. That being said hand winches are cheap and might be the easiest option (and good motivation not to get bogged
)
