    Winch mounting position

    Hi ,new MCC bullbar arrived today not bad for 7 months,Tube model . SWB 2007 diesel. notice there is no winch cradle and turns out its bolted to the bar with the feet facing forward. Is this strong enough and is this normal for this model?. Cheers.

    No idea if it's 'normal' for an MCC bar, but my ARB Deluxe bar has the same (no seperate cradle and the winch mounted feet forward directly into the bar).

        My MCC bar (Falcon) also allows for the winch to mount as you described - feet forward on the bar. I questioned it at the time too, but having now had need to do a big pull with it I can verify that it is indeed strong.

            Thanks for the replies,Started to install MCC bullbar (now called a Mcarmor copy)certainly doesn't look very strong so will go with your opinions . The bolt on wings stick out way to far on the corners so will replace with a better approach pipe work . Installing a runva 11xp winch.

              Went to assemble bullbar and decided to throw away the bolted corner wings stick out way to far my wife called it a bench seat and I will make up new corners. Fairlead didn't fit had to be re positioned and redrilled easy then cutting the opening . Moved solenoid to inside grill ,still plenty to do.
