ox hyd winch on GU patrol

Darrin is your Genuine Nissan bar a winch bar or the standard air bag compatable bar ?

Ask Nissan for the engineering drawings and specification of the bar. It should not at all be difficult to overcome a small issue like that.

Darrin, i have an ox hydraulic winch on my 2002 gu patrol and arb steel bar no problems at all.i agree with ozi should not be a problem to do minor modification.by the way the levers rotate to various positions does this help ???

Darrin, I suggest you sell the original bar and purchase the correct air-bag/ winch compatible bar. After the change over you should not be out of pocket by any more than $400, a small price to pay when you consider insurance problems, certified engineered product and compatible components that nobody can argue, contributed to/caused an accident. Follow?

Darrin,
as I only rewatched 4WD Monthly's South Aus Odyssey trip again last night, I noticed. Pat Callinan, the Editor was driving a GU Nissan Patrol, (petrol I think). It had a TJM bar, (they mentioned the code name of the bar), but pretty sure it was fitted with an OX hydraulic winch. I'd have to log off, go back to my room and watch the tape again to be sure. But I am pretty certain that's what was said on the tape.

Cheers,

Dion.

Darrin,
You can fit an OX winch to your genuine GU winch bar without modifying the winch bar. Talk to the people at TJM head office, ask for the OX man. You need to purchase the OX Winch with remote solenoid pack. This allows it to be fitted. I have seen it fitted to a friends GU. He bought the OX after seeing mine in use on my GQ.
