Multi Mount Winch

I'm thinking of getting a Multimount instead of a dedicated winch for my D3. I was hoping to make a front skid plate that will incorporate a receiver for the winch. Must admit that I have not looked at the underside of the D3 for some time so don’t know if this would even be possible. Or as Slimer suggested a receiver attached to the chassis poking out of the front grill or bumper. Any info would be appreciated Wink More uk info here

Was talking to Non Stick Nick re a rear mounted Winch he suggested using a hitch plate similar to Slimers. Give Nick a PM I'm sure he will be able to help

The rear is simple enough using a receiver like mine (as you said) it's working out where to mount one on the front that's the issue. A receiver attached to the chassis then sticking out of the front bumper or grill would do the job, mounting it securely to the chassis is the tricky bit

My old M class winch was demountable the mounting was welded to the chassis you "just" removed the lower grill and the iron work went throu at the same time I had to insert the wading plugs Embarassed oh happy days!!

Was thinking of that one as well...

But then I was thinking:
"Where am I gonna put that one when not using..."
"What does it weight..."

So I quickly decided not to go for it Wink

The only things that worry me about a single point mount are the shear load and trapezoidal loading if one side of the vehicle has a greater degree of 'stuckness' than the other. There may also be some rotational torque on the mount if the vehicle is being pulled over undulating ground Shocked other than that - no problem 8)

Thanks Chap, I have made a call to them, its made in Germany is approved to some standards. Waiting to hear back for full specs.

I picked a Multimount winch up at the show on Saturday to see how heavy they are Shocked you would not want one in your bait box.

p**s easy Wink just run some 35mm welding cable down the side of the chassis rails, a bit of heat - shielding near the exhaust with an Isolator fitted near the battery and yer done!
You only need the +ve as the -ve can be connected to the chassis, i'd uprate the -ve battery link though
