It isn't a 100 series but you'll get the idea.
130X8mm steel for uprights which bolt to inside of chassis rails.
25X4mm angle and 38mm pipe for the rest. Weighs about 40kg without winch.

I'm guessing you fitted a winch to a non-winch bullbar?
There's no way a proper winchbar bends like that, you'd stall the winch first.

Does your 100 have airbags?

be carful if you have airbags as a bull bar if not mounted correctly will affect the way the airbag is set off
