Hi Mark

Your bar needs to be winch compatible.

Are the mounting brackets strong enough to stop the bar being pulled off or the winch being pulled out of the bar.

Does the bar have a mounting point for the winch, a square cut out in the face of the bar for the fair lead or roller block, holes in the top to access the clutch.

Someone may just tell you to cut holes, but I would hate to be around when you use it.

Cheers

Anthony

You don't need a bull bar to have a winch, just something strong enough to attach it to.
In fact it does not need to be permanently mounted at all.
This is a Warn 16.5Ti.

This is a bit rough for me. I couldn't even carry the winch. Then where do you store it.

Not a bad idea if you need to use if from different locations/directions.

If it is the Toyota Sovereign bullbar, I believe that there is a winch cradle kit available.
You can double check over at PradoPoint or simply ring dealer spare parts dept!
