Thread: Bull Bar or Winch Bar??

From memory the with some of the bars all the extra cost is, is the winch mounting kit. So check with the manufacturer and you may find their bar is winch compatible and if you want you can later buy the winch kit.

i would go winch bar just because then you can always put one on if you think you need one later. But if you really dont think you will need one then i would go a bullbar and get a handwinch which is probably a better idea actually cause then you can winch from the front or back of your vehicle....Not that a Land Rover would get stuck

Get the winch bar. You don't want to be in the position of being able to get a winch later and having to modify or change bars later.

From what I have seen ARB bars are either compatible or not whereas the TJM bars are all the same and you can buy a winch cradle kit for it later.

If you can afford the winch bar get it, save yourself money now and put that money towards the electric winch.

If it is in budget go the winch bar. Keeps your options open for later.

Buy a winch bar, put the number plate over the hole where the winch comes out looks like a normal bar and eventually when you can afford a winch put it on.

Of all the mods I have done to my disco which is a lot, the best single thing I have added to her is the winch and bar or actually bar and winch.

Ditto above comments.

Ditto again, but I suggest that If you did want a winch, buy the hand winch (Tirfor) first so your covered and then look on ebay for a winch, tabors by warn are pretty good.

By the way I have a TJM alloy winch bar that I put the winch in later on with a home made kit that a mate gave me.
