Thanks guys
A local 4x4 shop tried to install a Runva winch. I had to by genuine Toyota winch cradle and mounting kit, they took the bar off and could not fit the winch.
I was told that cradle is not wide enough for most of the standard size winches
They could fit genuine winch which Toyota sells for a ridiculous $2500.00 (plus 490 for a cradle and mounting kit), or the only aftermarket winch they could find to fit in that cradle was VRS 9500 winch.
I decided not to go with either of them on this bullbar until I research if the 4x4 shop was telling me fibbles or not.
If what they say is correct then I would rather change the bullbar and buy Runva winch for it. Would still end up cheaper than going with genuine Toyota winch.
I wish I knew this before buying this bullbar ...
