My UK 2018 Wildtrak

Compared to the serious rigs some of you in Oceania are running, this is lame. However, for the UK, I think I’ve done ok.
I have managed to attach a small winch, almost entirely hidden, which is great for boats, trailers, logs and anything short of self recovery. I’m sure if you found a similar sized higher rated winch and used a snatch block, self recovery would be fine too. There is quite a bit of space behind the standard bumper and if you replace the crash bar (or reinforce it) with steel, you have a great attachment point.
I also managed to cobble some brackets and do a cheaper way of installing any roof bars on to the mountain top roll cover T Tracks.
Bonnet pins are mostly for personal styling reasons. Next are wider wheels and tyres.
I also put two 12v led strips and wired them inside the sports bar to the factory bed lights. They work great and fade/behave just like the factory lights. Easy mod with a lot to gain.
