Winch install 6.1

[Californication69]

I think there would be room to bolt this to the front crash bar assembly. I'm finding the drill bits don't go into the hardened steel though.

What drill bit is needed to drill into very hard steel ? Diamond bit?

@Californication69 how did you get on with a winch install? Any pics?

Need to get a winch too, since I don't have Diff. Lock.

I'd very much doubt that the front crossbar is designed to take a winch big enough to unstick a 3 tonnes Cali and pull it through or up difficult terrain.

Equivalent to bolting a tow hitch to the rear bumper? Without the subframe attachment to the chassis rails.

As I thought Seikel supply a new crossmember that replaces the existing crossmember to mount the winch onto. This also entails cooling pipe replacement.

Quite a weight penalty for a 4Motion which in the T6.1 appears to be getting critical.

Did look like the winch mounting/crossbar was a heavy duty alloy material which would reduce weight.

I had this installed on my T6 Ocean last October by a local shop and I have not noticed an discernable differnece in the drive quality and the level of comfort it provide after a "issue" where I had wished I had it in August of 2020 is considerable. If you are thinking of doing things with your Cali that "average folks" would not do...I can highly recommend it.

I only suspect this is going to get worse when the T7 finally arrives....
