Thread: Bull Bar Winch Mount TJM

Hi, you can mount a winch directly in the steel TJM bar but nothing over 9500lb. If you want to go heavier you need to mount a cradle between the shassy rail, it can be any model as it's independent of the winch bar. I have an Ironman 9500lb winch in mine and fits no worries. Only has to cut the hole for the clutch a bit bigger. I can take some pictures if you like.
Cheers, David.

Here Is a picture I had on file. I can take some from above and behind if you reqiure them.
Cheers, David.

Hi David,
Unfortunately the picture did not come out.
I would love some photo's if you can.
Cheers.

Hi again, I don't no why the first picture didn't come up i can see it. I just went out and took some more, see how this goes.

Also to note, it bolts forward to the front of the bar. You have to remove the gaerbox of the winch and rotate it so that that clutch leaver is pointing up through the hole in the bar. I had to cut the back bit out of the bar as it was fouling the clutch handle. I'm also going to move the control box up under the bonet near the brake booster to give more air flow to the radiator. I just have to get some longer cable to extend it. Being remote control I dont need access to the control box to winch and if I do I will pop the bonet. It will also be up out of the muck aswell. Any other question just ask.
Cheers, David.

That is excellent, thanks heaps.
I know about rotating the gearbox, mounted many a winch before.
I just wasnt real sure if i needed the cradle, by the looks of it i wont.
That will save the FIL a bit of cash. He might even by me a drink or 3..
I have to fit a Warn 9000lb unit, so i may not have to modify the lever hole!?
We wil see how we go next weekend.
Cheers.

Thanks again David,
Took me an hour to complete, think it was one of the easiest fits i have had in a while, seemed ike everything just fell into place
Cheers.
