Hi Guys, I've done just that, the winch fits in a T Max winch mount that plugs into a 2" receiver.
I got some box section and made the front receiver picking up the 2 bolts each side on the chassis rails where the steering guard mounts and also added 2 more bolts through the bottom of the bumper. You can just see the receiver socket below the number plate. The winch mount is secured into the receiver with a 4" long 3/4"dia tractor pin as I didn't like the 5/8" pin that came with the mount.  Click image to enlarge The winch is wired with 50mm² flexible cables via a 350A Anderson connector under the bonnet, with 50mm² cables back to the battery through an isolator. The winch has a stall current of 400A so even the 350A connectors could fry!! While the bonnet is open to connect the winch, I jam a wedge into the throttle linkage to raise the idle, also the open bonnet allows the engine heat to escape and protect the windscreen from flying winch gear 
I have a height adjustable tow hitch, so I've modified a spare slider into a rear receiver so the winch can be mounted at the back. I can get some pics tomorrow of the rest of the set-up. winch mount - https://bearmach.com/quick-mounting-set-ba-2665 Anderson connectors - https://www.altecautomotive.co.uk/anderson...5937-p.asp |

I used to run a demountable front or rear system on my 110. It's sat in the garage for a while now. All came new from frogs island. Cradle with male 2" , female dixon bate slider, and front female mount. If it's of use make an offer. Pm me if interested. Cheers

The set-up worked quite well and I managed to extract the Ninety complete with empty trailer one wet soggy January.
As for the tyres.... they were fairly new Discoverer STT's, not much good when clogged with mud
