I'm intrigued with the 'Discreet Winch' mount by Bearmach, discribed At Texas Rovers.
I'm not sure I trust 8000+ pounds of force on those four bolts, but I like the look and weight characteristics very much.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I would very much like opinions. |

Someone on the yahoo group installed one last year. Go there and post a message. Sorry, but I can't remeber who it was. |

No experience, but there are a couple things to think about in addition to the rather wimpy mounting. First of all the only advantage I see to this setup is keeping the stock looks of the vehicle. Many of us are more concerned with offroad function, but this is a personal decision.
I disagree with the clearance issues mentioned, I believe that an ARB bumper/mount would have superior approach angle to this setup. The discrete winch mounts as low as the factory airdams which we all know will come off on a moderate-difficult trails.
Certainly RoverWare and other after market bumpers would be HUGE improvements in approach angle as well as better mounts. A good shot of the RoverWare bumper is in my gallery. |

Whoops-- that should be RockWare sorry, don't know why I say that. |
