So the other week i got a bullbar/winch bar for my terrano off trademe.
Today i went to put it on and what do you know none of the mounts line up and dont even look the same!
I have put some pix up for you all to have a look at let me know what you think.
bumper in front of the truck

You will have to use a site like photobucket.com to load pics from, you can't publish from your desktop.......

Hey mate, i have very similar bullbars on my terrano, easy enough to fit, there is a mount that can come off the truck and off the bullbars, make sure you have them too pieces, try get your photos up properly aswel.

Failing that, send them to me and I will fit them on my truck for you.

i think i have solved this problem
1)cut the front bumper mount
2)then wield 5 or 10 mm plate to the cut mounts out of the front to the bumper where i will drill the bolt holes for the bumper.
3)then make a 2nd bracket from where the standed light holder/bullbar goes,out and up to meet the first bracket.
that would make it a 4 point mount all up what do you think.
if i put a plate in there for a winch will it be strong enough or rip to pieces?

Your method is about the same as my proposed set up will be too, but I will not be using the old bumper irons though, rather making some 5mm ones and trying to extend them to the chassis rail. Some engineering will be required to mount the drivers side bracket as the steering unit is in the way but I'm sure it can be done.
I do not think the original bumper irons will be strong enough to stop any rotational forces of the bars as they are only 3mm steel, and the bolts are only 6 or 8mm diameter from memory.
Other input is welcomed though.

I have not heard yet, but a z300 one fits too with mods. I do not know what mods though.
You would not want it set up too tight as you will have no or little steering in loose or muddy conditions.
I recon a good tight LSD in the back is suffice IMHO.
