Default H3 Winch

I am looking at installing a Winch on my h3 and was wondering if there are any particular
bushgard or Bull Bar that I need to purchase to mount the Winch or does it mount straight onto the chassis??

Your Advice would be very much appreciated

Thanks!

You can get them either way.

The Predator system-

The Steelcraft system-

I went with the Steelcraft / Milemarker combo because I wanted a brush guard as well.

The Predator system looks cleaner, however is more expensive, and you will have to buy a brush guard on top of it if you want one.

If you find the lower mounted Predator system under water, or wedged up against a steep embankment, it could be difficult to deploy.

don't have the time to look for it now...but I know somone was making just a winch plate, you sandwiched the mounting plate between tow hook and bumper and it gave you a really solid mounting plate for a winch...right in the center of the bumper....looked good and was only like $200 or something.

I could work out a price, but I think that transport would be a killer, the support is like 100lbs and I'm in Canada.[/align]
