Re: winch mounting
Yeh I have. I took my van over to someone who made a one off bracket for me for how I wanted the winch to be mounted. There was a couple of adjustments to be made because like anything bespoke until was tested you cant really tell how it would work.

Re: winch mounting
have you got a fairlead on the inside of the bumper aswell as the outside? or could you mount the winch high enough for that not to be a problem??

Re: winch mounting
The winch is just about high enough so it clears the inside after some adjustments, the inside does have a bigger hole though.

Re: winch mounting
