ARB bumper on a BJ74 w factory PTO?

[A2B in a TLC]

Hi Guys,

I hope a few of our Aussie friends see this and have some knowledge.

As you know, the front porch on the stock BJ74 stainless bumper w factory PTO sticks out one hell of a long way. You could set up a chair or two and have a chat with friends.

Has anyone successfully fitted the ARB over the factory PTO winch without cutting the drive shaft and/or repositioning the winch?

All the extensions, stainless fascia, etc, would have to be removed. The fairlead rollers look like they add 4 inches to the "porch" - the amount of space that would be saved if they are removed and replaced on the exterior of the ARB. However, the rollers are mounted on a cross member that also functions as the front-end mount for the winch.

Anyone?

Thanks,
