Hi @emax
am in the very same situation: don’t ‘need’ a winch as much as I don’t ‘need’ a Grenadier. But I ‘want’ both…
Have considered the removable winch. Problem I see is in Europe incl Switzerland we probably don’t get any front towing hitch or front winch mounting. Think security reasons don’t allow. Maybe some diy is possible but not sure how to hide behind the bumper.
Have decided to stick to the integrated winch for time being and wait for more detailed spec. Guess I could easier untick such option for contract then add.
From what I read IA factory red winch has a smaller spool because of space with only 15m rope. and mounting incl bumper is specific so maybe not cheaper aftermarket.
Looking forward to get more insights and the forum is great.
