I have a Runva 9500 Q Comp winch in a standard Nissan winch bar and it just fits. Check dimensions on Runva web site as I think the 9500 is longer than the 12000. It has bigger motor 8.6hp. They are same winch but different motor and gearing.

Thanks. If someone has fitted the 12000 then will definitely know. Otherwise will just fit it and see what needs rejigging if any...

With the Nissan steel bar the winch needs to be flipped upside down so that the motor is on the passenger side and the cable rolls off the top of the drum instead of the bottom as in MEGOMONSTER's pics.
The Nissan bar also only has a rating of 9000 pounds. The guys who sold/installed my winch wouldn't put anything bigger in mine for liability reasons even though they sold the 11000 & 12000 pound Runva's for the same price. Their reasoning being that if they put a 12000 pound winch in the bar and I really got stuck the power of the winch might destroy the bar or rip it off. My 9500 pound winch would stall at around the correct load and not damage the bar (in theory). If I need more power I can rig up a pulley and double power to 19000 pounds and spread the load over the bar and one of the recovery points. It would also winch at the same speed as the 12000 pound winch as it is normally twice as fast.
In the picture below you can just make out the gearbox lever on the left hand side. The gearbox needed rotating as well so it would fit.

Yep, flipping etc is all good. Maybe best aa you said to choose closer to 9000..
