ARB bumper and a Warn M12 (1 Viewer)

[jblatl]

Like the title says I was just wondering before I buy it I currently have an ARB front bumper on my 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser and would like to buy a Warn M 12 winch…. Has anyone installed this winch before on this bumper and does it fit without modification or what does it take to make it fit?

Winch for ARB bumper

For some reason, after multiple tries, I couldn't get the search function to work (and I'm pretty confident this subject has been discussed before, so please hold the flames, snide remarks, etc. - I need quick answers) What winches will fit on an ARB bull bar (I just bought a 3411050 ARB...

IF you have a winch bumper model of the ARB then the m12000 is a direct fit. That's what I run.

Perfect, I will go with the M12 / M12000.

did you need the mounting kit or did it just bolt right up? I'm guessing you put it in winch feet (mounts) facing out?
Thanks

Keep in mind that if you keep the Warn roller fairlead, you will have to drill 2 holes in it to match the holes in the bumper. A hawse fairlead will bolt right on.

^ yes, IF you get the hawse for the ARB holes. i.e. there is a specific style that has the holes positioned to center the hawse slot correctly for the ARB hole / slot positions.

Sorry i was not clear in my question. Can you post a photo of how the winch is bolted into the bumper? Did you need to clock the clutch handle?

Thanks

The m12k just fits as is - feet forward, nothing to 'clock'. You do relocate the winch control module (where the solenoids live) using a provided ARB bracket. Otherwise it's all just plug and play.

The arb bracket

Offset hawse for ARB

If you go with the Warn 5742 fairlead I don’t believe you have to drill, but I run an old school m10000. Not 100% on the m12

Might need to clock the motor so the water drains out. Look for drain hole where it bolts to main housing
