    WInch bar and rear bar mounting

    Hi I bought a ARB (I think) Winch bullbar and rear bar off a rangie which had a 2" body lift.
    as mine doesn't have a body lift the rear bar is giving me some issues. Does anyone have a photo of what the mounting points look like.

    Also I've managed to sort out the front bar (mounting wise) but I noticed the recovery hook holes had bent the bullbar on both sides so i have gusseted them. Does the winch need additional strength around the hole its 4.5mm steel so I'm not entirely sure

    My range rover is body lifted, but hopefully these pictures can help you..

    Only ones I've got of the rear bar being clean!!!




    The rear bar is attached via two very large bolts on the ends of the tow bar...or at least mine is!

    Hope that helps...can take a close-up picture in the morning for you if you wish?

    After looking at the photos I have mine is slightly different see bellow





    This rig has a 2" body lift and a 2" spring lift.

    I am looking for a rear bumper, depending on yours we might be able to do a swap as I have an ARB bar on my other RRC which is not raised!

    If you'd like, and haven't already modified your front bar, I could also do you a deal on swapping front bars, as mine is to suit a non-body lifted rangey?

    heres the pics

    Here is the winch bar, not even sure what brand it is can anyone tell? I thought maybe ARB but not sure.




    should i be plating the winch hole, its 4.5mm thick and solid plus the front angle bit acts as a gusset.

    Rear bar pics









    the 2 holes are much to high to mount to the chassis as the bar when bolted up hits the lights and doesn't fit well at all

    unfortunately i didn't take photos before starting to cut it
    but it had an angle which had 4 holes which i assume bolt into the crossmember at the back of the chassis
