pajero io winch bar on ebay
I was looking at this bar http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-Pajero-iO-2001-Winch-Bar-/121032872861?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2e1f139d
His original auction started at $80 and he removed it to put it at $350 !!!! That winch cost $180 http://www.oo.com.au/4000lbs-Wireless-Electric-Winc_P97561.cfm cheaper on ebay.
This is what he wrote about the making of the bar
So it was designed and made by myself an a friend but never tested as I really dont have a lot of spare time or money to get out and about at the moment.
I like the idea but this is easy to do and it is now too expensive. Bugger!!

winch bar
There are a couple of holes on the existing front bar, his bar probably match these.
I exchanged a few email with him, then the next day from auction $80 ...gone to $350....not nice...he may have thought that I was interested,and get me to pay a bit more.....I guess why not !!!

mehhh - NAH
Even if I were in Australia, and shipping was not an issue - he can keep that. It's a 4000 lb ATV winch bolted to a piece of 4"x4" RHS steel - no fair leads, no controls, and probably no engineering design.
Rule of thumb is a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle, so you're looling for around a 6000 lb winch for 3800 or so lbs of iO and even though I'm no welder/fabricator, I figure I can come up with a better looking winch bar that will be strong enough to handle a 6000 lb pull.

Thats a pretty simple design, but I can imagine in my head how or where it would fit.
Also I would want more then a 4000lbs winch.
