Weight: 24 kg
Not everyone wants to replace their factory bumper just to run a winch. The RIVAL 4x4 Hidden Winch Mount for the Isuzu D-Max (2017–2020) gives you serious recovery capability without altering the clean look of your stock front end. Tucked away behind the original bumper, this heavy-duty steel cradle accommodates most standard 4WD winches and keeps them protected from the elements — ready when you need them on a rutted station track or a boggy Cape York creek crossing, invisible when you don’t. It’s the smart choice for D-Max owners who want winch-ready capability without the aftermarket bull bar commitment.

Weather Protection Built In: Tucked behind the bumper, your winch is shielded from rain, red dust, coastal salt air, and road debris — extending the lifespan of your winch investment significantly.

Built for Australian Conditions
Australian 4WD tracks are unforgiving — from the sticky black soil of Cape York in the wet season to the endless corrugations of the Gibb River Road. A winch isn’t optional equipment out here; it’s essential. The RIVAL Hidden Winch Mount is powder-coated against the corrosive salt air of coastal driving and the moisture that accumulates behind your bumper. Its heavy-duty steel construction handles the extreme loads of real-world recoveries, where bogged vehicles, steep inclines, and fallen timber are everyday realities.
