Does anyone know of you can remove a Warn M8000 winch from an ARB bull bar with out removing the bumper from the XJ?

Thanks!

 

Pretty sure you have to pull the bumper.
Not 100%...but I believe my buddy had that issue with the same setup

 

If need be, I'll take oversized ARB bumper off your hands!

 

Not sure about the XJ. If it's anything like ARB's other bumpers, then yes. A friend of mine bought an '85 4Runner with a warn winch in an ARB bumper. The stupid PO had an exo-cage welded to it and quite obviously wrapped the wire rope around anchor points and put the hook on the line multiple times. Toyota owners...

 

Well I was able to remove it - the po had cut notches that I always wondered what they were for...


Now just to fix it up and mount it on my other jeep, after I figure out what bumper to get.
