Thanks. I'm anxious to try it out. We'll definitely keep you posted on what we find out.

...I'm anxious to try it out...

interesting approach... in terms of keeping it small/light for most situations but being prepared with rigging for when the situation gets heavy

now lets see some action shots dammit!

Chris your winch looks great! Is your fair lead a bit smaller than normal?

Either way it looks like it is a very clean install, nice job to you and Scott!

Thanks guys :ylsmoke:

Wil, yea - the fairlead is definitely small. As noted above, the opening is only 2.77"

can you spot the stealthy winch???

a bit off the topic in the sense that its not directly related to bajataco's admirable setup. but i thought it was a stealthy winch worthy of mention...

i was flipping through an old issue of Land Rover World, rereading a Defender vs Santana vs Ibex article when i remembered the "Vector Winch" system that comes on the Ibex. its basically a centrally mounted winch with a cable that runs to both the front and the rear of the vehicle. a pretty ideal tool, however would require some serious fabrication to retrofit!
