So how long did it take and do you have more details to share? Winch model, mount used, any instructions that would be helpful, things you would have done differently?

Could you give us a location of the source for this setup - I myself would like to do this to my LR3
sure.
I got the Terrafirma winch mount from Lk8 in NY. (Hope your experience is better than mine was). I’m pretty sure Terrafirma 4x4 have other stockists though.
The winch I found at 4wheelparts.
My battery isolation was from Amazon. There’s lots available, pick whichever suits your needs.
I’d recommend a small tool like a dremmell for the bumper cutting. Get lots of blades for it to, because it took a lot of cutting to get the backing trimmed to a good fit, although the hole in the bumper itself was quick and easy.
Someone already asked this question on previous page and I answered.
djkaosone Posted a fantastic blog of his install and he added a link on page 1. My winch is a smittybilt but im 99% sure any brand will work with the Terrafirma discrete mount. The install took me all day, that was probably due to that fact im defiantly not a mechanic or an electrician but I'm very happy with the results I achieved.
As for the things done differently, I think I would have changed my fairlead to a nicer black one, but that's just aesthetics. If I had more skills, I may have wired up everything into the cabin. Currently if I want to use it, I pop the hood to flip the isolation switch, pull the control into the cabin and begin working it. Having it on a switch and extending the controls so its always in the cabin might have been a nice touch, but its certainly not needed, as you'll probably be out of the cabin to set up the line anyway.
