Guys just after some opinions on a PTO winch for the GQ.
is it worth the trouble or should i look at a different type of thing?

are the easy to fit or are there things i need to keep in mind?
will it fit in my lowmount TJM winch bar or does it need a new front bar like the imports?


Thanks

I think you can mod the bar to suit, but the ARB bars are much easier to mod.
If you use factory mounts, the winch is like a grade blade, you really need a body lift so the winch can be mounted higher and further back to improve approach angles, which requires the pto driveshaft to be cut to suit

Make sure your gearbox has the pto plate on it for the output, if it doesn't, you can't fit the pto to that gearbox.

is there much involved in cuting the drive shaft to suit i would presume it is just to shorten it.

Unsure to be honest, I've yet to do mine, won't be done for a few weeks
