This will probably be the only mod I do to the wife's LR3. Can anyone give me numbers on installed cost? Has anyone had the dealer cut them a deal on it if added when buying the vehicle? Just looking for some ammo for negotiating...

You also need to be able to actually see how your line is reeling in and stacking up. "Hidden" is exactly that and you'll have no idea.

noreserve said:Check out the LR winch/tray. Genuine LR part. Warn 9.5. It was on the LR3 that we drove in the LR Experience in North Carolina. Didn't have to use it, but I'm assuming that it must be fine, as it seems to be good enough for their use. I like that it doesn't drastically change the great looking front-end on the LR3. Here's a pic. Also, here's what the dealer states about price/installation. I know that Expedition Exchange has the winch for $2,350, but not sure of shipping costs.
The winch kit, which includes all necessary wiring, would cost you $2,692.04 plus and additional $760.00 for installation. You would loose the park distance control feature on the vehicle due to the positioning of the winch.
