So bloody close but no cigar!!!
I want the ic as much as possible behind the grill regardless of what bar goes on.
Took off thermo and support rail, relocated horn, moved ac piping, that piping was easy to relocate.
Pushed the condenser back and I am about 210mm now...10mm off this bloody highmount fitting on the bar.
Had to re do the piping on the cold side because its so far back now so next week ill mount the ic again and have a look.
So close!!!
To clear up the situation with Andy's winch bar, his is the factory Nissan winch bar for a GQ, made by ARB.
It is different to the ARB winch bar variants, one of which was designed to be able to take a high mount, the other only a low mount.

Remember AB 220mm is the measurement but you really need a little bit of clearance mate

Yeah it's not happening on this bar mate, I just wanted to move it back as much as possible for the grille and inconspicuousness....lol

Double checking measurements tonight you really couldn't even fit a highmount to this bar regardless of the ic without completely removing the grille.
Why can't you make brackets to mount the bulbar a little bit further forward? To give you some more room?
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
I'll swap you my bar plus your spare tyre for your bar.....
