Rear sunroof taken out after stripping out the side and headlining, sunroof taken out the crappy landrover seal taken off and resealed with some Wurth RTV sealant, not a chance it will leak now :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

So I've got myself a winch, I've gone for a smittybilt XRC 10,000lb
So got it into the workshop today and started the wiring
Albright Contactor so i can get rid of the factory solenoid unit.
Image

Also put a winch isolation switch into the grille

Image

Looks like this with the grille on
Image

Rest of the wiring going in tomorrow :D

I decided to have the winch control via a carling switch inside the cab, and mounted it rather conveniently where the controls for the electirc windows are
Image

Once the winch was I decided to go for some Plasma rope to keep the weight down a bit
Image

D44 Stainless Steel Fairlead
Image

I then put back the winch cover and used Zeus Fasteners so that it can taken off quickly when Off Road
Image

I'm really pleased with the outcome, the truck is sitting nice and level.
This is the first time i've put a winch in myself and anyone who knows me, electrics is not my thing :!:
Thanks to Browny & Bolty at D44 for the use of the tools and knowledge, cheers.......
Oh yeah and thanks to Jake who took all my cash when i got the bill :toothy10: :toothy10: :toothy10: :toothy10: :toothy10:
