hagge Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi! Has anyone mounted a winch on a wd21? I don't think the stock bumper brackets would hold??? Instructions and/or pictures would help a lot. I don't want to buy a prefab winch bull bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanland Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It can be done, just will need to get a good welder you trust to mock up and weld together and to the point of strength. That's probably one of the most asked question about the wd21 pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes. No. Yes. No. Sorry, but you haven't looked around much, have you? I am in the process of removing and modeling a winch type bumper, mounting portions to grill at least. You can wait for that or poke around a bit with the search function to find what pre-exists.

Thumper Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes there's heaps on here about it. At the very least you will get some ideas as to what is possible and what you may do. When I modified mine I used about sections and hints from maybe three different write ups. Best thing to do is search, read, refine your search, read, form a plan and then maybe ask. Personally- I have an Australian "Gardbar" and used a combination of an ARB type chassis mount, cross bracing and ideas from some of the builds on here. But tacked it all then got a certified welder to weld it all up for me. Benefits of having a mate who used to build race-cars for a living- welding skills are beyond belief!! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagge Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ok, Thanks! Sorry for not searching properly first... I tried a bit, but sometimes i struggle with the English...at least the tech English terms. Will look around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanland Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hey, I have to appoligize too you. I didn't realize you were in Sweden. I don't know what you have for parts or mechanical support. There are a few websites that say they have winch bumpers or mount. I'm looking into having a front hitch mounted on, then I can use a winch cradle and use it on either end of truck. Again please excuse my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry, I didn't take that into account as your English is better than some born in the US. I will be removing my bumper today and will take pictures as well, so I will have plenty of information for you shortly... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
