Agree with Chris, it's a bit like my Superwinch, had the bars remade in stainless cos the standards were chrome steel with no chrome, if that makes sense. My castings are ok though.
Both sides will be anchored and the one bar is doing its job, so it should be ok.
I want to get another winch for the back, but mounted on a square bar to lock into the 40mm ARB bumper receiver. Has anyone seen or made a removable rear winch set-up? I'd also need a heavy power terminal to plug/connect to. I'm not sure that the receiver would be strong enough, maybe the pin retainer would shear, any ideas folks?
