He is going to recreate the LR up a vertical Dam wall advert with a D3 I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

The air suspension will level the car out.
The standard 9,000lb winch struggles to move a bogged down D3. So its either go hydraulic or a bigger electric. I know that there are other 12,000lb winches out there, but the powerplant looks the ducks nuts IMOIn the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So extend & beefup the two mounting lugs , new tray mounted further forward
Not going the hidden winch route with that one then I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

It is hidden just not the usual way round, here the winch hides the D3 end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

Very nice Andrew
Been looking at a Warn 9.5Si, which is a touch smaller than your little beauty. Guess I'll wait and let you sort out the 'issues' Disco 5 HSE Lux

It will fit I will make a new tray to keep things neat. The bumper needed a bit more trimming back. Will post more pics as work progresses.
