2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Having that sticking out the front of the car will put a dent or two into the cars that park a bit too close then ..
Well done VA, you and the Giverny Green one in the States must be about the only nonG4's that have a winch! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Good point Steve! ~The winch is not light but seeing as I'm a little underweight this compensates for the weight of the winch! RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.

At least with the airsuspension having a winch on the front of an RRS doesn't mean extra wear on the front suspension like a Defender or older Disco has, along with extra wear on the steering as well. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

2006 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Cairns Blue

VA...would you mind also posting pictures of the 2nd battery and install. What's running off the 2nd battery, and is it on a switch, or constantly also being charged?

thanks. PJPR - 06 Cairns Blue RRS HSE Loaded

The 2nd battery runs alongside the original battery. I opted for this rather than the ability to switch. Will post pics when I can. RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.
