Hey guys I have a non winch arb bar on my Jimmy, It is the airbag one
I am wondering if I can cut out a hole to fit a winch.
I know the bar isn't design for a winch but will it withstand a winch, also will the mounts hold up. The winch I have is a 9000lb

its should be ok to cut a hole for the fairlead in it but i would make a completely seperate cradle for the winch that comes off your chassis so the winch doenst affect your bar in any way. because it is not a winch bar the mounts and bar itself is not designed to withstand the forces of a winch and over time you will bend and distort the bar and especially with airbags you dont really wanna fuck that up

Cable ties and duct tape. Holds anything together

because it's a non winch bar... maybe consider fitting some stronger mounting brackets where it attaches to the chassis? and a strong winch cradle?
