View Full Version : Winch bars for GQ

So my last 4 GQ's all had custom front bars which were winch ready and had winches installed.

The steel bar on my GQ has got Lazer cut outs for the fairlead, clutch control and control box in it, it looks to be made of 5-6mm plate.
I can't for the life of me remember if I ran a winch cradle on any of my old bars.
Just wondering what you guys reckon, would this bar be suitable to bolt the winch directly to it, or will it need a cradle?
No idea on the make of the bar.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2019/06/107.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2019/06/108.jpg

Looks to be an ARB bar. Same, same mine. No winch cradle in mine, Warn 9000 bolted straight in. All good thus far.

Roger that.
It looks sturdy enough, so I will go ahead and mount it there.

Thanks!
