I hope that this helps

Over $100 landed in Australia for four bolts and some tube looks pretty steep to me. (Even $30 looks steep for what you get)

WOW.

Has our dollar jumped that much in value???

Holy cr@p!

They look awesome.

Don't look like stainless though - more like plated? Not that it matters.

This is how ARB do it.

i thought i might put this in here as it is a very strong way of mounting winch bars.

bashed some pipe into the front chassis rail


trimmed the chassis rail leaving around 10mm sticking out from the body mount.


made a plate to slip over the chassis rale and to tie in with the body mount.
ball has the measurements for these plates and can make them.


glue the plate to the chassis rail and the body mount.


make a plate to bolt to the chassis plate


then make ya bar around the plate and it will be as strong as fuck.
notch the plate to fit the tube for the strongest results.


sit around for a bit while i whinge about how hot it is.

I don't know if this is any use to you as I am not familiar with the Sierra chassis. This is a pic of another mount on an ARB Vitara bar...



...it clamps around a flat vertical section of the pretend cardboard chassis. The drilled and tapped flat bar is 10mm, fixed with M8 bolts.



The ARB SWB Vitara bar also picks up the factory bumper points, which gives it 6 mounting points in total.

I was amazed that someone your age came on here and listened for a change! Well done mate

[bibby]

Oh hahaha well gues im one in a million arnt i

[pyrohamish]

Buy some 20mm solid bar, cut it up to the right length and take it down to any machine shop and ask them to bore a 12.5mm hole through each piece.
I did this and I think I paid $5 a hole or something. Well worth it IMO.
