Bull Bars, Rails & Steps

A vehicle's bull bar, sides steps and rails are known as its "bar work". Some critics might suggest that bar work is not necessary but for people actually using their vehicles for offroad touring,

Hi All
I just picked up a second hand steel TJM T15 winch bar today for my coil spring 100 series cruiser. I plan to offload the toyota factory aluminium bar and fit the TJM. Are there many pitfalls to swapping them over...it looks straight forward. Also I plan to fit a winch soon. Do I need to get a winch mounting kit? If so what are the dollars for one?
thanks in advance.
Geoff

Dead simple to put one on. I put mine on in the driveway with my 9 yr old son and it took about half an hour. The hardest part was wiring up the bar mounted lights and indicators, it wasn't technically hard just getting to the back of the cars indicators to get access to the wiring. Winch mounting kit from memory about $250 -$300.

Cheers

Ditto to the above,
One thing I don't like about the TJM winch bracket is that the winch mounting bolts face the ground,not towards anchor point, so, ensure the bolts you use are up to the task
