Rrc winch bumper

Only ones I am aware of are the big fugly ARB-style monstrosities, I do recall that there was "stealth" winch mount that kept the front looking the same but mounted the winch in such a way that the only thing visible was the fairlead. Can't remember if it was above or below the bumper. I go look for pcs.

From rangerovers.net:


Under-Bumper or "Hidden" Winch Mountings
Under Bumper Mount
A third option is the "hidden" mount style with the winch tucked beneath the factory bumper (see photo). For the Classic Range Rover, an economical 35 lb Ramsey hidden mounting kit was available for a while, accommodating the REP series of winches up to 8,000 lbs capacity. More expensive are kits incorporating a Warn 8,000 lb winch mounted in a welded steel box structure are still available through suppliers such as Rovers North and D.A.P. Enterprises. Designed to be covered by the large British-style license plate, these require a wide cutout in the airdam (through which they protrude) and some trimming of the bottom of the bumper. Total weight including winch is about 110 lbs. Similar in concept are the Range Rover under bumper winch kits from Superwinch, for the X6 (6,000 lb light duty), X9 (9,000 lb medium duty), and Husky (8500 lb heavy duty) winches.

I was given a d1 today that has a winch bumper on it. Havent seen the truck in years and have forgotten what is on it but it isnt an arb.
Going to pick it up later this week. Cats have come apart, going to be a parts truck for us, bumper will be available if you havent found one by then.
Generally a D1 and RRC winch bumper are interchangable- aftermarket manufacturers made the same part fit both models.

I had one of those on a RRC. It was a super simple design. From what I remember it utilised the factory bumper bolts and then had three bolts that went vertically through the from cross member under the radiator. The one I had used a Superwinch 8k winch IIRC.
 
Hit a deer with the one on my first Defender going 55. I had no chance as it was a deep ditch he came out of nowhere. Damage was...a scratch on the ARB itself from the license plate. They have their uses.

That is a really cool idea, I really like the looks of that, but here in the Nw, trails are tight, and I see the benefit of a little more protection

Be interested to see what bumper it is!!

I know they are bulky and not my first choice, this rig is a budget build to let family members use to wheeling, never mounted, 450! Now slider searching. Just installed an arb locker in rear. Almost ready to play
