Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all

i want to run a hi mount winch in an arb bar but need some pics from behind to see if i can make it fit before i go and by 1 if any 1 has some it would begreat if u could post some up.

It's going to be along way off of fitting. The bar will loose most of it's strength by the time you cut the top and back out of it to fit the bulk of the 8274. You'll have to cut the grille and it's supporting panelwork out too.

In any case, the ARB mounts were never designed for that much winch load (or weight!) so the mounts and the end of the chassis won't be happy.

Cool winch, bad application.

I'm fitting one into the back of a 1.0 trayback atm.

You'd be better off starting from scratch than trying to work with the ARB bar.

its going to be a race car and i wanted to use just the frame of the bar and custom make all the mounts not sure if it will fit on the flat part on the front of the bar tho the winch is also widened 50 mm.

It's too tall. The top will have to come out of the bar. Highmounts use a much bigger drum.

I would have thought for any sort of competition 56KG right out the front of the car would be the last thing you'd want. (even for winch challenges)

yeah i see thanks for ur reply mate.
The front diff is way forward so thats not a worry.

I see you're in townsville, any more info? throw me a PM with your msn address if you wanna.

I looked into using an ARB bar with the high mount on my old zuk, ended going for a custom bar as it meant I didn't need to butcher the panels.

Here is a pic, have more if you want them.

By the time you finsh the zuk the jeep will be done

Chuck some pics up bob!

We got a high mount in the ARB low mount bar, we just added some extra plating up the front and a fedw gussets here and there. Its all good.

I wouldn't chop an arb bar up, sell it and start from scratch.
if your drum is 50mm wider then your bolt hole won't line up either I would think!

try and get the winch back as far as possible, I moved my radiator and fan back 25mm and cut the grill support!
gave me a good approach angle



the winch in my current truck will be in the rear and fed forward as I want a really good approach, lower weight at the front and a more stock look with a simple bar, as there will be an intercooler in the grill!

just a thought

thanks for the replys still unsure what i want to do with the bar work just getn ideas
its on wheels matty but duno how to put pics up.

email the pics to me and i'll post them up for you.

Come on bob we want pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arb bar, modded hi-mount. Never had a drama. bar didn't bend. Just brace the back, you'll be fine.

modded Arb bar, modded low mount, still never had problems.

Why so many winches when you'd rarely get stuck Liam? lol

1.drag mates out
2.piss people off
3. you can always get stuck if you really apply yourself.

I agree with number 3 totally.

4. Pull youself back on the wheels after a roll

Heres a couple of pics of bob's project, long way to go but its getting there!
are you goin to change the rear arm mounts bob?

Hay liam have you spaced out your bar ?? every other suzuki i've seen running an ARB bar with a Hi-mount has had to hack the grille and the lower radiator support

pretty sure he had to hack his as well mate...
he just did a real neat job of it (hard to see in photos)
