x2 sorry mate, my eyes are burning!

Do you have a bigger picture at all?

Even just the link to the Ebay advert...

When you say modified to take a winch, do you mean it has room behind it once mounted to install a steel winch frame?? The alloy bar isn't strong enough at all, so usually it's a case of retrofitting them to allow a steel housing to be bolted in behind in which the winch sits ... This one looks like mine (as big as I could get it without completely losing the image) and mine definitely is NOT winch compatible ...

That's the same one do you think it's ok

No expert on this, it only look like the steel plate attached the uprights inside the bar. I would probably still go for an aftermarket winch plaet to take the stress of the aluminium, they're $150 or so, but it puts the winch directly on the cahsis rail not the alloy bar..
