Thread: fitting winch to Tjm steel bar

Hey Frosty I've got the same bar on mine. Bloody TJM why make a winch bar that needs purchase of a cradle to work. Mine has those knockout bits too. I will watch this thread with interest

Ye i was thinkin the same, with bit of luck someone will shed some light on the subject

Cheers

Ken

Hi guys, I've got one. Not with it At the moment so no pics yet. The steel plate section underneath and the knockout at the front are removed. The cradle then bolts up to the inside of the chassis rails with a lip section coming up into where the knockout was. That lip is where the fair lead roller or hawse is fixed.

hope these help

Is the cradle a universal ie would it take something like an ironman winch or are you limited to just what tjm sells?

Mine isn't a TJM winch, doesn't look as though any of the holes in the cradle have been altered either

Universal the mounts on all the low mounts are pretty standard
cheers

thanks guys, that makes things a lot clearer, was going to make my own cradle but looking at that I have ordered a TJM cradle from TJM geebung brissy for $240, considering air bag deployment etc i am going to err on the side of caution and play it safe. just finished my CDL lever and the winch will be 1 less item off the list, dual batt to go and I'm finished WHOOOOO

cheers
