Thread: Fitting Terrafirma Winch Bar

thanks for tip re washers and extended bolts

For info, it's the bottom bolts that are replaced. I bought a pack of 2 x M10 150mm (1.5 thread) stainless bolts with nuts+washers and 16x extra stainless washers from bunnings. I had 18 washers in total and 4 were left over after fitting.

Couple of extra tips:

• if you have them, re-use the delivery / transport tie down eyes (which are equivalent of 4 x washers stacked)
• you DO NOT have to remove the grill at all, just push bolt up into avail space from underneath the grill
• the bar is not that heavy! rest it on and line up the top bolts which will drop down themselves once its aligned
• use your old bolts to line up your washers used as spacers before inserting the new extended bolts
• do the bottom bolts up first! (learnt that the hard way )

looks like grill will need cutting to fit the winch, or new grill
