Oh and I'd get it moved to member rides stops all the "welcome to the forum" crap when clearly you've been here longer then they have ;)

I also see you went the LED indicators in the bar, I need to get myself some of those one day. As already said that plate where the solenoid can go is as simple as giving it a whack with a solid hammer, it'll pop right out and never go back in (without welding). So decide if you want the solenoid there or somewhere else before you get the hammer out? I have mine there. The winch itself is easy enough to install, you just take the guard off underneath and push the winch up from the bottom.

Yeah mate was easy as to mount the bar itself and is probably only a one beer job. It was very windy so the lights took a bit of soldering but overall was pretty easy, actually I wish everything was as easy on the patrol as mounting a bullbar.

Yeah there is a steel plate that goes on the bottom of the bar, I don't have mine on as the previous owner of the bar appears to have sheared off all the bolts for it. I'll grab a pic of it and post up here tomorrow.

Cheers mate. How Important is the steel plate? Do you think I could buy one or make one up?

Welcome what a great present

Not too important mate, as I said I don't currently have it on. There is also a plastic guard as well. You could possibly make something up.

Oh and welcome to the forum.... ;)

Smart ass ha ha

From one new member to another, welcome. Hope to get more involved myself.

I got a cordless drill for my birthday and haven't heard the end of it. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite you too. HAHA.

Thanks mate. Might just get some sheet metal one day and bend it using the edge of the work bench. I should be able to get it good enough

All done Lucus...
