Also found out that ARB's D2 winch bar can only be fitted with up to a 9000lb Warn Winch, but no bigger.
So it seems that the options for bar plus winch are very limited for the D2.

I have an ECB bar on mine - and it CAN handle a winch. Simply bolt a winch cradle in behind the bar.

I haven't fitted one to mine - but I did ask the question and was told that it can be done. Having had a good look underneath myself - I can't see any reason at all why you couldn't fit one.

Had the TJM T15 on mine with the cradle and it's been great. I can tell you that nothing moves when you're using the winch (as opposed the stories I've heard of 'other' winch bars

Give the cradle extra paint!!! Good Stuff as well before you fit.

The original has rusted from mine undeneath the cradle quite bad. I think its pretty ordinary actually.

Good solid product though.

While the old mans high mount was out getting serviced removed my std front bumber and worked out I can mount a M8274 in there. Wouldmake a cradle to tie it to the chassis but it would clear and then cut back the top lip of the bull bar to clear as well (as he's had to do).

Not sure if this will help or confuse......

I have just taken delivery of a TJM Steel 15 bar for the front of my Disco 2 Year 2000.

The interesting thing is that it is boxed and packaged as a Disco 3 bar and apparently as long as my disco was pre feb 2002 it would fit.....

I am pleased to say that after a late night of Beer/BBQ and occassional spanner swinging it fits an absolute treat....

The box states TJM T15 outback (airbag)
Model no.070SB15N39T
Suits Disco 3 04+
