What about one of those universal portable winch cradle kits?? They hook into your hayman reece hitch, or the bull bar, or even off the side of the car.....

funy guy you are ill do that now

Portable winch cradle would be the easyest.
You could have custom rear bar fabbed up to take a winch, this would however limit your departure angel.
Could make a custom fuel tank with a cut out to fit the winch in behind the chassis rail.
A mid mount winch with the cable coming out the back.
Its possible but will be a lot of work to make it look good and not limit other functions of the fourby.

mid mounted between the chassis rail. Body lift required and and possibly mods to the floor pan. If you won't be doing serious winch comps I wouldn't bother. Even comp trucks don't always run rear winch setups.

I have also seen a pulley that slot into the front winch, that hangs down below axle level. The front winch cable could be pulled run around the pulley and under the car thus enabling back ward winching.

Another option maybe not the best but it would work. Mount the winch in the back somewhere behind the passenger seats then open the rear doors when you want to use the winch. damaging the doors would be pretty easy however.

You could mount a 9500lb Low mount across the front edge of the rear sping towers with some 5mm plate between them and some brecing on the front face then run a small fairlead between the body and rear step on the rear of the truck. thats were mine is going to go when i get aronud to it on my Tray back GQ. You just have to watch the clearince on the upper links as thay cycle and a 30mm body lift might help also

Hey cun7s,

Here's one that will go on the rear of the car. Just take plenty of beer to help power it.
