100 Series Hidden Winch Mount...another one (1 Viewer)

[awesomeissquid]

Anyone manage to tuck a winch up in the rear of the vehicle, where the spare tire used to mount? I suspect if someone had the fabrication skills it would be possible but idk.

Do winches require a secondary battery for power or could a running vehicle provide enough power with one battery?


Im out there wheeling solo often and a front mounted winch won't help me if / when I slip off the road and I'm nose first In the ditch.

Someone had a post in the past few months with a winch in the rear like you describe. I tried looking but I couldn’t find it. Hopefully someone else saw it or that individual can provide some input.

I'm all for lightweight aluminium but a winch mount is not where I would choose to save weight.

Correction: It is steel.

Just so folks reading this thread don't get the wrong information. Although Asfir skids are aluminum, their hidden winch is in steel. Says it right on their product page.

I stand corrected. I was thinking about this post where an Asfir hidden winch mount was easily bent and I assumed the construction was aluminium.

Recently found out about this product: Land Cruiser 100 / LX470 Front Winch Mount - Big Slack Off-Road - https://bigslackoffroad.com/product/land-cruiser-100-front-winch-mount/. The price is really good and seems to be bolt on. Also says it supports up to 12k lb winch pulling a 100 series sideways.

This looks really nice, love the fact that it's bolt on and doesn't require cutting.
