G4 Discovery 2 Winch Bumper/Mount

Hi all,

Dumb question... my G4 Disco 2 is one of the special addition ones sold in UK rather than used on the actual expeditions and i'm planning on using it now for some overland stuff so want to start adding some of the G4 goodies.

Can anyone tell me what the winch bracket was (and part number) and its part number please as i looked on the vehicle details part of the site and couldnt find it. Obviously the winch was a Warn but i'm not sure about the bracket...

I want to stay official land rover bits too...

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

Jason

hi jevo .so you have also a specail edition g4 ,so have i but mine fitted kit as a challenge truck ,you want a winch on the front its not a problem

i have a consealed winch fitted to mine without it sticking out of the front ,you have a bar and spotlights?

remove the front bumber completey plus a bar and lights ,you will then find enought space between the rad and front bumber to conseal a winch in there ,you do have to cut most of the lower lip of the front bumper away .will see if i can find some pictures ,what your costs ...it will cost around 600.00 to do this

BEST WAY IS GO ON ........WWW.DISCOVERY2.CO.UK

go to offroad additions

then t max winch

you will see it all there

Thanks Dave,

Nice way of fitting... discrete for sure... i'm more after the actual same look as the G4 cars themselves... looks like they use a tray??

Anybody know what official part number it is and who made the part used by Land Rover?

Cheers

But is that the actual G4 one or a G4 replica.. Mantec didnt do the G4 ones did they?

I thought the G4 ones were a std part...

Yes, both the D2 & D3 winch mounts were standard parts but Mantec may well have developed the D2 one. I'm fairly sure that Warn developed the D3 mount.

FWIW - If you are seriously looking at doing some overland stuff, don't bother with a vehicle mounted winch... Use a hand winch instead.

The only bits of G4 kit I'd bother fitting, if using a Disco on an overland trip would be:

* Steering Guard
* Raised air intake
* Tank guard

Don't bother with the winch or roof rack...

I'd also recommend getting a copy of "Vehicle Dependant Expedition Guide" by Tom Shepherd. What isn't in that book probably isn't worth knowing!!!
