Winch without A-Frame?
Hello All,

New to this forum, but a die hard LR fan. Just moved up from 2018 Range Rover Sport (which saw a ton of off road action!) to 2020 Defender.

Ordered the winch from LR, but hasn't arrived yet.

Question: Does anyone have photos of the winch installed with no A-Frame bumper? The only pics I can find show the A-Frame (except for the No Time to Die James Bond images, but those are just a movie...)

Any ideas how it will look?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you! It looks great. Do we have any idea if the dealership can do it?

Sorry I don’t. Over here they wouldn’t but in USA they are fitting lift rods and all sorts do you might be able to get it done. If not give lucky8 a call ask they got some advice.

From here, not sure if this is a different position for the fairlead?

Looks way better without the A - frame, I actually looked at one with a winch and a bar the other day, thought it was a disco 3 at first glance...

Found more information. There is a German company called Matzker that has a hidden winch mount. I have emailed them for details.

The other option seems to be Lucky 8, although they have not responded to my Instagram message and my DM just yet.

The factory one winch Mount doesn’t need the A frame guard. You simply don’t install the crush cans and the winch is flush like Lucky8s.

Are we even sure if the 007 defenders have winches? Or just a fairlead glued on the front...? Cheers, David

I would say the latter, the spare wheel isn’t even real they stripped the vehicle right down to save weight. Lucky8 have done the winch without the frame though looks decent

A more "traditional" mounting for a Warn 8274:

That looks as though it stops the bonnet from shutting! Rolling with laughter
