Hey guys,

I have been mucking around with my winchbar and have absolutely no idea how to mount it and there's a pretty limited amount of space at the chassis rails!

just chasing and info/pics as to how any of you have got by this in the past or how you plan to do it, I'll upload a photo of my front end tomorrow incase it differs or someone could suggest something.

Thanks a bunch in advance

What winch bar?

Is it home made? More important than pics of your chassis, is pics of your bar. Depending on how it has been built, you may or may not be able to use the same methods as others have.

Yeah man, homemade at work haha, but it's essentially just 100x50x5mm Channel which has indicators and winch hole machined into it. I've capped the ends, and sunk the winch into it but yeah, just the mounts is where I'm going wrong...

I'll jump onto the photos tomorrow at work and shoot them up here
