    My dealer (Bob Moore OKC) investigated this for me before my Discovery was delivered. According to them, the winch kit that was in Utah, was a one off, entirely custom, one of a kind. Was not air bag compatible, let’s face it LR has given up on real world off roading. I will attempt to find correspondence with dealer and post.

    Let's wait to see what the new Defender looks like...the New Disco is more like a "safari" vehicle, and still more capable than just about anything else off the lot. Government safety regulations, much like emissions regulations, are taking the fun out of owning fun cars. But I suppose they're necessary, and hopefully automakers will adapt and innovate.

    The Defender should be a more direct competitor to the Wrangler Rubicon here capability wise, and a more hard core off-roader. Hopefully they offer some options like winches and snorkels from the factory...that's about the only way a winch could be certified airbag-compliant.

    Internal mounted winch will be the way forward I suppose?

    I got the reply below from Devon 4x4 when I asked them about developing a winch mount, and it seems that they are concerned about warranty issues.

    Good afternoon Chris

    We have quite a few enquiries regarding a winch mount for the new Discovery

    At the moment we are not making anything due to warranty with car etc, I will keep your email and get in touch as soon as we have made a decision

    Thank you for your email

    If I can be of any further help please do not hesitate to contact me

    Regards

    Liz
