Hi guys,
Been reading for hours on end and could not find information needed on the site. I have an ARB commercial bulbar fitted to my 'lux. I bought the Domin8r 12000lbs winch for a pretty decent price I think. I was reading the ARB catalog and it states you need a winch fitting kit. Went to my local ARB store and spoke to the guy there where we figured out it was not needed at all witch means I save some dollar witch makes me happy. The other problem whilst taking to him was the commercial bulbar is only rated to hold 9500lbs winch, not 12000lbs I bought.
His opinion is that although the winch is rated at 12000lbs it would not come close to that figure due to the small size of the winch, whilst saying that he reckons the winch 'should' be fine in the bulbar.
If it damages the bar(bends or breaks it) it would not be covered under warranty witch is fair probably.
Now my question, should I just fit it and hope for the best or try to sell it and go for an ironman bulbar maybe?
Just cant make up my mind what to do, any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
