Also making a bull bar - tubular was created by nzJim

Hello all,

I'm in New Zealand where jimny's aren't uncommon but aren't typically modified...

I'm wanting to build a tubular front bar to mount my superwinch in. I'm thinking it will be similar to the xrox style.

Has anyone built one or have any links to previous builds? I've searched for the last 2 nights and haven't found any.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Dorfl, that looks real good. I don't suppose you have some close ups of how it mounts / braces to the chassis rails?

The winch I have is too wide to sit between them so it's going to have to sit on top basically, although then it fowls the bar above so I'll recess it down a little...

Can you not notch out the body cross member and reshape it to fit under the member

A good idea and I could but it would compromise it's integrity too much, in my opinion.

No it wont as the chassis will keep the front in line

You could cut it out fit the winch then weld some box section above the winch on to the body to re enforce it
