8274 on an 80?

[nodaksn3]

Anybody mount an 8274 on an 80? I've got an 8274 that I just rebuilt, and since I'm selling the 40, I'd like to put it on my 80. Is that too funky? Ned

check landspeeders ROTW......he used to have one stuffed in the old style slee bumper with some minor grill trimming.

ARB actually makes a bumper specifically for the 8274.

Took me a week to put one on my 80

that would be the ARB commercial bar....it also is narrower and lines up best w/ flareless rigs

And from my research is the only company that does (and is available in North America) so far.
My love for my trusty 8274 is the only reason I fabbed my own.
It's been on there for a year now and I don't regret it one bit.
I have only really had to snatch block once because I was stalling with a 3/4 full spool and pulling a loaded chevy with a four sled trailer through the snow. Like most of the time "getting someone else out".

Nice. Thanks guys. Ned

I have a commercial bar on my 80 with an 8274 and love it. It's brand new so I haven't had occasion to use it yet though...
If I had any skills I would have fabbed something up...but I don't have the knowledge or the tools so I took the 'easy' way out and waited 10 weeks for my bumper to arrive.

8274 on an 80 is such a silly idea. sell it to me for $300 and buy your yourself a brand new harbor freight winch. ill pay shipping.

 

[nodaksn3]

Right Dusty. Great sense of humor. Ha ha. Ned

I raise $ 5 over your offer, so show me your cards

By the way I have a 8274 on my 1974 FJ40 since day one when I bought it brand new, and going and going and going like a f***** rabbit LOL

MoGas' 80 has an ARB commercial bar with an 8274...maybe PM him.

Can you take couple of pics of this setup? I'm particularly interested in a side view shot.

Thanks dude.

arb bar with 8274, it's a tight fit. removal of the grill or the headlight windows is a bitch with the winch that close.

it's jammed in there, but it all works.

Is that the commercial bar or did you fab a new center bar?

 

[trojan_knight]

Crusty, do you have any spacers in front of the winch? Or did you cut anything?

The reason I ask is that I have the deluxe bar and my dad just gave me an 8274. I have spent the last two weeks trying to figure out how to stuff it in there.

 

[whosthecoolguy]

I'll try and get some pictures up this weekend.

I got impatient and went out and fixed my problem with clearance. Here is a link to what I did.

Anyone have a good idea for relabeling the antenna switch?

 

[trojan_knight]

sorry forgot link.
