THE GRIFF 8 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I was just wondering how much work would be involved in fitting a winch to my fourtrak. I aren't wanting to pull myself up cliff's, it would only ever be used if I got stuck in boggy mud in gateway ect. As I have AT tyres fitted and not mud tyres I thought it may be a good idea as a back up for future. Would I be able to just attatch it to the bull bar on the front of the car, I would presume the bull bar will be fixed to the chassis so could I just make a bracket up to attach it directly to the bull bar.

dymented 2,220 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 you will want a plate welding to the chassis bud the bull bars will bend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE GRIFF 8 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Would I need to strengthen the suspension or do any other modifications if I made up a bracket to go on the front of the chassis behind the bumper, I am asking because a few winch's I have looked at come in at 30-40kg or would it be ok to just fit the winch.

jc43 3 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 A guy I know had a winch fitted to a new Hilux, dont know what it weighed it didn't look overly large, he removed it after wearing out two sets of front tyers in a very short time, all down to the extra weight on the front apparently.
