mikegq Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Hey guys I'm looking at buying a winch and modding my standard ARB bar to it it Has anyone done this? How much modding is needed? I'm aware I'll have to strengthen entire winch area(inc mounting) But what sorta cutting etc is required? If anyone has done this and has pics it would be great to see some Thanks all

mikegq Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Posted June 2, 2012 Hmmm got any pics mate? I can't remember that the tjm ones look like P.s mine really is in need of a respray
idiot1 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) only pic got of front with bullbar has indicators in bullbar too Edited June 2, 2012 by idiot1
Booster Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 I too would like to do this mod. I have the non winch ARB bar and was thinking of using a winch mounting plate welded to the main mounts on the bar and also adding another plate to the front of the bar as well. Surely someone has done this and can provide pictures.
mikegq Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks idiot. No offense but I like the arb bar better. Thanks for th offer thou.
BigGQWesty Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 It's the best I could do its been raining so much the last few days.. I'll try get some under shoots on the weekend.
mikegq Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Posted June 5, 2012 Thanks heaps biggqwesty that's what I'm gonna do, any chance of some better pics? If not no drama, thanks very much
BigGQWesty Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Got some for you.. The gods were good today Edited June 6, 2012 by BigGQWesty
mikegq Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks mate but I'm 99% shaw that's one version of a standard arb winch bar Still looks easy to make mine like that. Cheers Mike
BigGQWesty Posted June 6, 2012 Report Posted June 6, 2012 Yea sorry it's a stock arb winch bar, but not a regular one. Happy modding
