Or buy an ARB Bar. rare to find.
Mine took 6 months of searching on Trade Me.
Cost me $500, picked up from Rotorua that day
Good bar except for the "cheese grator" below winch
Nothing a grinder and a welder with some 6mm plate won't fix.
Now I have a bulldozer blade

Mate nice work, great fab skills!

Love when someone thinks outside the square..

Wtf, is it D21 hour or something?? 3 posts in 6 mins this late on a monday night...

thanks, so far its cost me $70, the rest is just bits from the engineers off cut bin, once its fully welded and painted it should look good, till the first outing anyway, oh and i also searched for hours but no one ever shows how they are mounted, have more pix of mounting if anyone is interested,

I can take some pics of the arb one, in the light tomorrow, if you want. It mounts to those eyes, four bolts where bumper irons were, and two small bolts form the side where the bumper irons were. Cheers,

keen to see more pics of mounting ect.
Im looking building one as an option

all finshed now, cheap to build, solid, happy with it, used winch on the weekend no problems at all,

Nice work, and in keeping with the Kiwi way......sometimes easier to just make your own.
Looks solid too.
Good one
Cheers,

ok quick question about the winch im running, i brought one of them ridge rider winches, the question is on a incline when winching if i stop winching the winch will unwind slowly under load, just tryed it again at home i hooked winch to post and reveresed very slowly and i can hear the winch unwind, ??? what the, i know its only a cheap $400 winch but is this normal and any one else have one of these? i have also serched it and found nothing

I have heard that they either have no clutch or it is weak. This just confirms it
I suppose you get what you pay for
Cheers,

Its a brake not a clutch its so confusing when called a clutch.

Awesome work on the bumper. I wish i was that talented.

As mentioned above it will be a weak brake. Pretty sure it s the Warn site ( one of the main brands) has a thing on how to pretention the brake during assembly, most likley this was not done well on your winch, try find that (I remember exactly how) it invloves rotating the centre that the ramped pads sit in inside the drum, against itself, if that makes sense.

I had to do that with my old XD9000 warn cant remember the site i found it on but it was a austrailan site and it told you how to pre load the brake and had a diagram ,try googling it

If you know how to pull it apart that is.

I'll talk to my personal inter-city courier.
With a few more additions it will be an awesome bar
Gave my ARB bar a bit of a shunt in the weekend and pushed the corner into the bonnet and front guard cracking yet another quarter light
Or I save for a D4 blade
