ARB winch install

[brownbear]

Just wondering when you install a ARB bull bar on a 60 do you have to install the winch prior to putting the bumper on?

The instructions didn't say. Or I read lightly

Also is there a certain size of fairlead that must be used with these bumpers? As I have to buy one.... I will probably go rollar instead of hawse.

Thanks, BB

not sure about the arb but when I put on my 4+ bumper I had to take it right back off to get the winch inside. I imagine that it'll be alot easier to get the winch mounted with the bumper off.

You can install a winch after the bumper has already been installed the bumper sticks out quite a bit. I'm not sure about the fairlead. Good luck.

fairlead depends on what winch rope you use...I had to take my ARB off to mount my winch...but it was a non-winch ARB model.

Ah sounds good then,I can lift it on when its light

How hard is it to fit a winch to a non winch bumper lowtideride?

I was able to fit my 8274-50 into my arb bull bar by removing the front grill. it slid in nicely, and it wasnt that hard to take out and put back. just dont break any of the mounting tabs for the grill.

Not to bad. The 8274 just fit....I mean no room to spare. Dint have to cut the body at all either.

I got my 10K Warn into my ARB without pulled the bumper or the grill, it was tight but do-able.
