Problem is that the ARB bars for Pajero’s are all for low mount winches, not the high mount’s.
This is the bar 4 years ago, before it went onto the truck
So took some measurements and got a cradle fabbed up (5mm steel) that will drop into the top of the middle of the bar, and pick up a couple of the bolts mounting the bar to the chassis rails. Between the bolt mountings, and the cradle being fully welded into the bar, the structural strength of the ARB bar should be maintained.
Picked the bar up on Wednesday from the Engineer.
Decided that the best option was to powder coat the bar to match the original bar, as this had resisted impacts and rust better than I had seen any standard painted bar.
Picked the finished bar from the powder coater on Saturday morning, fitted, ready for the winch now !!
