I have 1 of these on my 185 surf. Finish is good although mine is a little twisted for some reason. Took a bit of mucking around to get it right. Havnt tried the winch on it yet but it seems a little wobbly. Will be putting some gussets on before I try it in anger.

Overall still a good deal and wayyyyyyyy easier than building 1.

Any chance of some photos if your 185 with the bar mate?

Looks mint!! Is it easy to fit the winch?

Yeah wasnt bad, the winch mounts to the bracket rather than the bar. Its a really good idea with it having air bag mounts. I ended up mounting it a wee way back by drilling new holes. Also drilled a hole for the free spool lever (made longer) to stick out the top. Really easy to get to.

i got one seems allgood only used the winch once so far and worked ok, as the bar is attached to the chassi but is a two pice item could posible suit a body lift as well with a lil bit of welding and drilling new holes for the bar to attach to the mount

i had to move round the housing on the winch to get it to come out the hole already at the top

i got some photos pm me your email and will send them to ya as im not to sure how to post
