Very clean example , Not sure if you know or not but that bullbar
converts to a winch bar if you ever went down that path

No TD I didn't, this 4wd stuff is all new to me. Where would I find the info?

I would be interested to see how too, John.

The winch cradle bolts up under the chassis , then you cut a few of the verticle bars out and fit a roller fairlead or similar.
I take it thats the factory aluminium Bar, a few here have done this

Money? What's that? .......... lol

There are new laws on what you can and can't do.
Max lift is 50mm and tyres 33", you can go higher and bigger
but it will need to be engineered . but a 50mm lift will see you go most places
IMO the closer you stick to OE the less drama down the track

[clubbyr8]

Suspension will be way down the track. First things will be mainly electrical electrical. 2nd battery, tail light mod, led lights, find a place to install my 7" GPS, reversing camera, NADS , gauges etc.....

[threedogs]

Pay attention to any earths you see ,a lot of problems stem from bad earths. I have all LED globes and dummy tail lights wired.
great mod that doesn't break the bank.
As for the 7" some here have replaced the stock radio head unit with a double din all in one unit

[rusty_nail]

cheers
Nic

Just bought the globe holders from Supercheap, will get the led globes off eBay. I only just got the 7" GPS so I'd rather stick with that at this stage, I just don't want it on the windscreen like I had in the VZ SS ute I had.....

Hey TD ..... Interesting you say that... What would be the insurance take on this???? I wanted to do this but was told that if I was to have a accident that I would be covered....

[threedogs]

was only going on what others have done. Winch cradle bolts onto chassis so separate from the bulbar.
Plenty for sale on Ebay , maybe its an overseas modification I have no idea, just knew you could convert that style bar into a
winch bar.
