In this video, I'll show you how to install a winch into a bullbar. This is a Kings Domin8rX 12,000lb winch that I fitted into the Ironman bullbar that's on my Nissan Navara.
The install required the removal of the bullbar, so if you are considering a winch when selecting a bullbar, it would make the process a bit easier by installing both at the same time.
Besides having to cut the bumper bar below the grill, to fit the winch, the rest of the install was fairly straight forward.
Having a crane to support the bullbar, made this a one person operation. If you don't have a crane, I'd suggest getting some help with the bullbar.
As noted in the video, there wasn't a fairlead in the box, so always enquire about the supply of one, because you shouldn't use a winch without a fairlead, as it protects the winch rope from nicks or sharp edges on the bullbar.
During the winch tensioning, I measured the current draw by the winch and it was 136 amps....that's why you need to have your engine running when using your winch!!
