| Post subject: | Arb winch bar |
Just got a Arb winchbar for my Sierra and just wondering what winches fit in it other than the warn ones. Cheers Also after some pictures of beefed up chassis mounts for when you cut the out rigers off. |

only one that will be warrantied in the event of a failure to the bar or chassis. |

You guys are overlooking one VERY important thing here. The bar is not DESIGNED for more than a 6000lb winch. The mounts are far too light duty for a 9000lb winch. |

Not just the mounts mate. The bar too! 6000lb is enough to get a zook out of trouble. |

6000lb = 2.7tonnes - thats enough to pull 2 overloaded sierras out =) |

So if I have a 9000lb in a arb and only pull out Sierra or vitaras, it still won't hold up? |

Who knows. It may just shorten the life of your bar and or chassis. All I am saying is that the bar is not designed for that sort of load. And given ARB's mounting system ON THE SIERRA, I would not like to find out the hard way. |

All I am saying is that the bar is not designed for that sort of load. And given ARB's mounting system ON THE SIERRA, I would not like to find out the hard way. As a side note, what is the strongest winch you would think safe to mount on a zook? Do you sell winch bars yet? If this is not the place I can take it to the business thread or PM, just figured while we're on the topic of winch size in a bar. |

go for it zooky08, engineers design a safety factor into everything to handle twice the force intended to to placed on it. So if its rated at 6000 pounds, it breaks at 12000. |

I bent nd ripped the holes out of both the bar nd chassis Dont ask do you still have the "out riggers" ? if not you only had 1/2 the number of bolts holding it on so you've only got yourself to blame. |

Yea I blame my self 100% was a stupid thing to do Wasn't from winching The outriggers were cut off from the previous owner |

| Post subject: | Re: Arb winch bar |
So how does that make the ARB bar weak? It's like saying suzuki's are weak because my wheel fell off. I only had two wheelnuts on at the time though. Steve. |

Well they are not weak if the are bolted up properly Mine wasn't so I suffered the consequences |

| Post subject: | Re: Arb winch bar |
Was it because you didn't use the out riggers? Did you use crush tubes ? |
|

| Post subject: | Re: Arb winch bar |
The arb outrigger mounts were cut of so that was half the strength I didn't have The chassis is very thing nd it doesn't take much to rip the holes out I had crush tubes I was pulling my friend of a tree The force ripped half my bar off Was just Hanging of one side the chassis Snapped two of the four bolts And riped and bent my mounts on the bar It really does pay to have all your mounts But mostly don't snapstrap from your bar if only have half the mounts

If you want to run all the mounts, then get used to running 29" tyres.
