Bull Bar Plans

Post by Nor »

Hey guys.
I want to change my bull bar, and am thinking of making a new one, but I want it to be tough, well designed and tested.
I want to fit my Warn M8274-50 winch in it.

I saw the ARB model, but I want something better,I want to build one.

Do you have any suggestions, maybe plans or photos or model description.

Thanks a miliion.
Best Regards,

this design is holding up well so far, I think there is enough room to get a high mount on it..

Nice Bar, But I got an M8274-50, which takes quite some space.

Plus I want to make it on my own, I got an excellent welder here, I need plans or details to make it.

Thanks guys.

Actually I have the quite same design on my car...and the 8274 is sitting there just fine...(but I "push" it back as much as I could - replaceing the oil radiator to the other side of the water radiator...).
Here you have a pic of mine (just to see the 8274...)

Plans...hmmmm...who need it?!?

Advice: make the first the winch support. Then the left and right sides....Then the upper and lower bars.

I made my own, not on a Patrol but the same concept can be applied to anything, We simply boxed in the chassis, ran a bar of each side with supports and a stinger style (A lot smaller) with mounts for lights).

It took about 8 hours and I have actually lifted my the whole vehicle with a crane of the front recovery points.

Its much more satisfying making something yourself as oposed to forking out a grand or so for a mass produced item who's brand shall remain nameless.
