WARN 9000LB Winch Re Post 14604

Nick,
Mine sits on the bullbar and haven't had any probs. However, my ARB bar is a 2000 model and was the one they had the neat little "W" cut out in the front to take the control box. This meant that the control box was mounted in behind the bar and above the winch motor........impossible to get at for the regular maintainence they require without taking the whole bloody winch out first. I guess that's why ARB stopped making that style of bar. Their current bar isn't a whole lot better; it puts the box under one of the side wings and still too bloody hard to get to.
If you've got room under the bonnet for it and don't mind lifting the bonnet every time you want to use it, I'd say go for it. It'll also keep it safe from mongrels who might otherwise do the old trick of pulling out the cable, over the top of the roof, hook onto the tow bar and short out the pins in the control box to drag the winch cable down through your roof......
Good luck

Put it out if view.

Also run switch to the dash, saves getting out to run it! sit inside, get wife to hook up cable and tree saver
