permanent or removable winch on RaRo P38?

Of course you mean the Rangie and not just the winch !!!!!

Now seriously this is not my Rangie (I am a hardcore Discovery series 1,

200Tdi affecionado) but for a good friend who wishes to take his P38 for some serious off roading.

He wishes to install a winch to it and preferably a demountable one.

Anyone has to propose something apart from the South African way? (kidding)

Yes Bring your rangie with her winch to South Africa and have it removed in a few minutes flat :) Only thing is you won't get it back.

the factory one looks not too bad- but it ain't demountable; not easily, anyway.

Natalie thanks.

Do you mean like this "Port a winch"?

Check this out:

As I mentioned to another poster a while ago, Warn Industries makes a winch tray that plugs into a front mounted receiver hitch. The Warn website does not seem to have any listings for Land Rover but you could email them. I have a Warn winch on such a tray on my Disco 1 but I have to admit I don't know for sure if it is a Warn tray.

Gordon Hi,

Warn does produce a generic front receiver hitch which can be mounted on a Disco. A UK based company does produce a front receiver hitch specifically for the Discovery BUT no one and that includes WARN produces a front receiver hitch for the P38 model Range Rover.

I have asked them, have asked ARBIL (they import WARN products in the UK and I cooperate with them as their distributor in Greece), have also asked Rovers North and Atlantic British in the USA (they both advertised the demountable winch system that Warn offers stating that it can be fitted on a P38 RaRo, but it turns out they only meant for the rear receiver hitch)

Thanks for your kind input though.

Take care Pantelis

Well that clears that up. Maybe the unit for the Disco could be adapted to fit the Range Rover? Shims if too narrow or cut/re-weld if too wide?
