Bull bar winch mounting problem

[NP99]

Guys
I have a 4.5 GU with a Nissan bullbar, I can't see where the winch mounts on to. Is there a mounting plate I need to buy?

[Bloodyaussie]

Should we be worried????

Is it a winch bar...?

You may find the winch cradle will bolt to the 2 captive nuts UNDER each side of chassis
What style bar??? alloy or steel

Steel I think. It looks similar to the one belonging to the member you guys are helping out.

Not you maybe, but I am.

Good idea.......a daylight job

2 Bolt holes you can see and the other 2 you cant. Its generally pretty obvious if it is a winch bar.

I think it's a winch bar, it has the top plate cover for the solenoid and the area to bolt on the cable rollers.

Yeah where to cable roller bolts thats 2 of the holes used to mount the winch.

NP,

If it is the factory Nissan bar then it is made by ARB to Nissan's own specs, with a slot at the front for a 9000 pound Warn Winch max. I have a Warn M10000 which apparently doesn't fit (I didn't try it as i was told by Nissan themselves it wouldn't fit so sold off the bar and put on a normal ARB Bar )

I am fairly sure from looking at it that you didn't need any extra winch cradles to fit a winch.

My winch won't fit. Had one of our mechanics look at it today. It needs a cradle, or I too may have to sell and replace.

[Lieney]

Sell it and get a nice bar, that it compatible with your winch.
It'll be easier

What winch are you running NP?
