winch cradle

[dakka1]

hey guys

im just after some info and pics or links to winch cradles. I see some get mounted straight to the bulbar but id feel more comftable bolting it straight to a chassis.

other reason for this im hoping to mount it to the chassis so I can do my own front bar

like I say any pics of how this would work on GQ would be great thanks lads and lasses

That looks so much like a XROX bar , nice work, how long did it take, and much does it owe you making it yourself ?

Any pics on the car with the bar finished ? (painted etc)

I used a TIGREz wicnh cradle as the basis for my old setup.

I cut the cradle so theat it fitted between the chassis raild.

I then had a metal place make me some right angle brackets out of 10mm steel

I then bolted / welded the brackets to the reasr of the winch cradle and bolted the bracke to the chassis rails using hight tensole bolts.

I then mount a alumin bar with slots for the wicnh.

i sandwich the bar between the farleigh and cradle
