I mounted my old High Mount straight to the bar itself when I did mine years ago. No cradle as such, just cut out the section required as the Warn winch sits up higher than the bar, and bolted it up. I don't remember if it had a seperate plate between the two though.
I have a TJM Winch bullbar on my D2, The winch is not bolted to the bar but is bolted to a winch tray that is bolted in between the chassis rails.
ARB bullbars on the D2s have the winch bolted to the bullbar.
Same as my D1 ARB bar, winch mounted on plate. D2 airbag sensors must be a bit different to the D1's.Quote:

In appreciation
On my old D1 with airbags the winch mounted upside down on a cradle between the rails.Quote:

EDIT. ARB were able to supply me with those crash cans around five years ago. They simply made them from the patterns. I had to go to their operation in Kilsyth though.
I've just pulled out a heavy duty alloy cage from between the chassis rails on my soft dash RRC that is surplus to requirements. The winch (wasn't cost effective to repair) sat inside the cage. With planned to be a tow tug/touring vehicle, a new winch would basically be extra dead weight.Quote:

I'm thinking about going to a local engineering mob and getting a cradle made up. They do lots of 4wd mods.
If I do I'll let you know disco stew.
I have a TJM bar sans cradle on my D1 and really want a winch. But I want a rear diff lock too so ..... [emoji1787]
It really is a simple thing. They'd knock one up easily.Quote:
