I recently purchased a ARB winch bumper but can't figure out where the winch would be mounted. Do I need to fab up some mounting plate? If so where does it mount to. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Might be a dumb question, but did you get the winch model of the ARB bar?
 
Um, yeah, the winch version of the bumper is fairly obvious... You may (will) need to make a couple of modifications, but they are minor. IIRC I had to move one of the 3 bars that sit around the winch to make it downward facing (the winch then sitts down side forward) and I had to drill a pair of holes through the fairlead. The which bar sits where thing is covered in the Warn manual and the Fairlead modification is in the ARB installation manual.

Which bumper do you have? (A pic would solve this very fast here.)
Which winch do you have? (By model # or a pic would work for someone here.)
 
BTW, its a ARB with the winch mount. I'll see if I can take some photos tonight. The winch I'm getting is the Warn M12000. Does the winch mount on the Bumper bracket or do I have to make a mounting plate for the winch to sit on...Thanks again
 
Bolts right to the "skin" of the bumper. Imagine the bumper setting face down on the floor and then the winch sets inside it upright. So when the bumper is on the truck, the winch's bottom faces foward. I don't know about the 1200 warn but the four holes in the bumper should line up with the bolt holes on the winch. I used some grade 8 bolts to mount my winch

Where did you purchase the winch arb and what could i expect to pay for it. Is it compatable with all warn winches?

If you click on "Support our Advertising Vendors!" in small letters, upper right hand corner of the page, you will see a list of Land Cruiser Vendors that support this site, many of them sell ARB products at very reasonable prices. Slee Off Road, and Cruiser Outfitters come to mind, off hand. They are ~$800 IIRC.
 
What are you driving?

Petrol,

No signature makes it hard to know what vehicle you have. I am guessing an 80.

Do you have the old bumper mounting brackets? I need one.
