go to sandy @ Aus 4wd he'll make a hight mount fit. i got roughl qouted around 300 - 400 but i maybe wrong best to check with sandy himself

If your thinking of fitting 9.5Xp to a standard nissan (steel bar) it will still need modifying but if you have ARB no problems

Either way go the XP 9.5 but the High mount you'll have to cut alot out of your bar and i have heard problems on some GU can over heat because it blocks air flow especially if you have the winch and 2 large driving lights.

High mounts overrated, OK if doing comps and need to drive fast as cable spools in. Low mounts pull greater load, less weight, less air flow problems.
The 9000 warn pulls good with good leads and batts also.
My 10k just keeps pulling when hi mounts have stalled.
New 9500 pulls even harder.

the new 6 hp warn should be a good one.
you can fit a highmount into a nissan winch bar with a few mods.
