Hi all. I've got a (dumb) question for anyone with a winch and bullbar setup similar to mine: I have a TJM T15 bar installed that has a hole for a winch. What I didn't realise is that there is an optional part you're supposed to install to actually mount the winch.
My bullbar: TJM Bull Bar T15 Black Steel | 80 Series | LANDCRUISER WAGON | Toyota | GET 4X4 EQUIPPED | TJM 4X4 Equipped - https://www.tjm.com.au/get-4x4-equipped/toyota/landcruiser-wagon/80-series/tjm-bull-bar-t15-black-steel-070sb15n80l
Here is the mount:
Is this just a cradle to hold the winch? There are mounting points on the inside-front of the bullbar itself, is the bullbar supposed to be the weight bearing component under load?
It appears the frame above bolts to the insides of the chassis, which could also mean that this is the weight bearing component, although it doesn't look like it if those brackets in the middle are anything to go by.
See front middle of the bullbar with numberplate removed, sorry for the mud I hate it!
