Agreed.
I wouldn't Loose the box section either.
If you want to cut it out. Replace it with something else.

Hi nzJim,

I managed to fit the winch in sitting above the chassis rails but that's with a 2" body lift so it didn't hit the body cross member.. Could be an idea..

BTW I'm in NZ as well so you're not alone! haha.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland.

g'day Josh, good to hear of another nz jimny! I'm down in chch so not likely to bump into you.

I hadn't thought about doing a body lift... hmm... I'll research that. I'd rather not open up another work front though! My tyres fit fine so I don't quite see the point, it's tall enough as it is.

I can get it sitting a fair way back so it's not the end of the world.

Any other pics of homemade bar work?

Will try to get some pics this weekend. Car has 2" body lift and winch is mounted above the rails. If you can avoid it, I would steer away from a body lift (it raises the center of gravity)

If you need more clearance, employ an angle grinder and hammer :laugh:
