Mounting a winch in genuine bar
Hey all
I just bought a 2011 Y61 Patrol that has a factory steel bar and have tried fitting a winch but there is nothing to mount the winch on. Is there a cradle that i need to mount the winch on. There is a place for the fairlead but thats it. I have called a few Nissan dealerships and they said they have no idea.
I need some guidance.

You'll have 2 captive nuts under chassis on both sides the winch "cradle "will bolt to that.
Plenty for sale on Ebay, petrol or diesel

Don't they bolt to the rear of the bar? There should be 4 threaded nuts welded to a plate on the opposite side.

Mine bolted straight in. Well upside down and flipped but bolted through the bar.
Top 2 bolts through the bar above the fair lead hole and the lower 2 go through the fair lead and holds itin place as part of the mounting.
Take off the lower plate cover from underneath and you should be able to bolt it straight up mate.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Exactly. That's how I installed mine. It's a bit of a bitch to engage due to the positioning. I also have the genuine Nissan winch bar.
As a point of interest, have a look at the compliance tag. You'll notice it states that only a warn xp9000 is to be fitted.
