What they said. Build a winch cradle that bolts to the ends of the chassis and also bolts to K frame (front cross member) Once that is secure then mount the alloy bar onto the winch. Nice and strong and looks like its ment to be.

just after some advice. looking at getting an aldi winch. I was thinking as the GV is so light I could get away with mounting the winch in the alloy bar. just beef up the mounts. the bull bar is 8mm alloy. the othe option is to buy a universal winch cradle and try that way. after some opinions and pics on how to do it. cheers. |

dont mount it to the alloy bar, you'll need a steel winch cradle. check out Built4Thrasing's GV build thread to see how he did it. |

Yep you'll find it here http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... &start=120 He also used a couple lengths of flat steel, about 4mm thick i think, later on, bolted from the bottom of the winch to the front cross member to give some extra strength |

ok I got my Aldi winch today. Theirs still one left if anyones interested (westfields north lakes). I didn't realise how heavy it would be so a good strong cradle it is. I think I might need help doing it. anyone want to help or know a shop that would around north Brisbane. |
