Hi I have a 3.0 patrol turbo diesel and an alloy bar from Nissan
Can I fit a winch to the body just behind the bullbar?
Someone told me I need a steel bullbar but I am suer I have seen
winches on alloy ones.
Thanks
Peter

I believe Nissan supply the alloy bull bar as a non winch bar.
Would'nt you also need to cut a hole in the bar for the fairlead? Nissans winch bar is a steel bar as an accessory.
I suspect your information from "someone" is suprisingly! correct.
A phone call to your fiendly Nissan spare parts counter may clarify your question as
well.
Regards
Paul

fergus,
TJM have (or used to have have) an "off the shelf" winch mounting cradle for Patrols...
completely independant of bullbar.. (B'bar can be removed if necessary, leaving winch & fairlead in place)... This cradle is attached to the chassis rails via pre-existing captive nuts...
Obviously, said cradle would be made to suit TJM bars, & the
winches they sell...
My Ox (hydraulic) is mounted this way, behind a T15 alloy bar... Works fine:-))
With a different make of bar, it should be only a matter of cutting an opening for the fairlead in the appropriate position...
