Lucus30's suprise GU patrol

[lucus30]

Well I fitted it on the weekend, Just got to finish fitting my driving lights and get a winch now ha ha







Edit:Perhaps This should be moved to Members rides now rather than introductions

Also When I go to fit a winch the bar has a panel where it looks like the solenoid will go but how do you remove the panel itself?

[Stropp]

usually its cut most of the way, just cut the rest with angle grinder or hit it to get it out.

[lucus30]

Ok thanks will have a better look when the time comes

[Family4x4]

Loooking good.

[threedogs]

You may be able to remove your grill and drop the winch in from that angle.
Thats what they did with mine.

Edit;; being a factory bar I don't think it will be possible
as the OE bar sits very close to the body work

Good hit with a hammer should knock it out.

Looks good man, like you said now all you need is the winch and a light bar.

Looking good mate, it must not have been too hard to install it as it only took two beers.

Oh and I'd get it moved to member rides stops all the "welcome to the forum" crap when clearly you've been here longer then they have

I also see you went the LED indicators in the bar, I need to get myself some of those one day. As already said that plate where the solenoid can go is as simple as giving it a whack with a solid hammer, it'll pop right out and never go back in (without welding). So decide if you want the solenoid there or somewhere else before you get the hammer out? I have mine there. The winch itself is easy enough to install, you just take the guard off underneath and push the winch up from the bottom.

The guard underneath? Guessing I'm missing that bit because I could lift up a winch from the bottom easy as nothing to stop it.
