What winch mount or supplier and which sort of winch do you guys reccomend for mounting on a MK4? Fancying the idea of fitting one to the trooper instead of my landy. |

Yes got the PWR mount on mine. Has been working well for me for about the last 3 years. It's only about 3 inches lower than the bottom of the bumper. Same as the diameter of my A bar.
Works well. Easy to fit and not too visible. But if you are handy with a welder and pick up a universal mounting it wouldn't be too difficult to make the brackets to fit it. _________________ Isuzu Trooper SWB 3.0DT Commercial |

If you know a good fabricator, get them to build you one!
A good friend built this for me as i didnt have the time, just need to finish it off now!
I know it looks a little on the large side, but it houses a Champion C15,000N which is 67kg of winch!
