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? NG Motoring Writers (@NGMWcars) Tweeted: We were delighted to finally present @KimmyPsWorld with our traditional trophy.

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 Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

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 |

When I was living in Saudi, many of the 4x4's had an 'insta-winch' https://www.roughcountry.com/insta-winch > 110 XS Double Cab

That looks as though it stops the bonnet from shutting!
