Hi.
I have an xrox bar on my 2000 hilux with a 2" body lift.
I used my winch to pull a small tree out of the ground and the whole bull bar flexes forwards when the winch is pulling.
It looks like the extended mounts are acting as a lever and flexing. This in turn is putting epic tension on the mounting bolts and as a result, the bull bar now leans forwards slightly.
My question is, has anyone used their winch in an extreme recovery situation in an xrox bar with a 2" body lift?
As I'm thinking, I would be worried that when the time comes to use the winch properly, it will snap the mount bolts or severely bend the mounts.
