The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

@MB here are a couple on the car mate. You could do similar but weld onto the top edge for sure mate 100% doable.

Mark, have a look at this design. This is what I believe addresses the forces and their directions - Vectors they are called. Its a serious structure, however it will do the job, and is what i would build myself. The integrity of the towbar is maintained and in fact is increased as it is now hard locked into the upper chassis member.winch plate full.JPGwinch plate detail 1.JPGWinch plate detail 2.JPG

You can fabricate this quite easily, tack it up, check fit, adjust then weld it out.

Just in the shed trying to visualise it thanks mates, got me thinking again, is there any structural drawbacks on the OEM chassis back down the line?
An element of chassis rail flexyness is possibly OEM designed in and hoping this wouldn’t lock them together too much?
Only reason I mention is that I met a bloke before lockdown readying his ISUZU twuck for around Australia and he choose a full floating type tray <> chassis mount system to retain some flex he was trying to engineer in.
Cheers!

Its already restrained and you wont affect anything, stop over thinking it! Build it, bolt it in, get out and start using it - when you are allowed by Kevvy.
