One that sits higher in the rear than the receiver type, hold a 3500-5000 lb winch. I have a kfi tube rear bumper and don't need or want a complete bumper set up. I have seen several for other brands but not the Defender. though i would ask before i start a build. something like this = Quote shopping (1).webp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get around to it I intend to cut the plate off and mount it on top of the receiver and slightly forward to reduce the chance of hanging up in the deep stuff. You could space the winch plate up using square tubing if you want and use an extension if you want to use the hitch. I have not seen a bracket for the defender. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(4500 lb winch is larger than the 2500 lb. I have on the G2)🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here what i had welded up and mounted to the rear of my defender. For now a Harbor Freight 3500lb winch. If i really need it and use it i will upgrade to a larger winch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
