Who's done it? & What tips can you offer?

never heard of it before, but I imagine you'd have to cut the hell out of it.

You would probably have to cut out the whole center section and fab a whole new one cuz of the way the ARB winch mount is and the way the 8274 is.

nope, I wouldn't try it. You would need a lot of modifications and the bar is too small and the center hoop will be in the way.

The ARB is only designed for the regular 8000-9000 winches. Anything else and you will just have a big expensive pain in the ass chunk of metal.

Well being a stuboon/stupid SOB I'm going to give it a go anyway.....Sure I'm going to need to do a lot of cutting & welding - but after a few measurements on the w/e I think it can be made to fit. PLUS I've seen an ARB style bar previously modded to fit the 8274 so I'm even more sure it's doable....
better have the camera handy & snap some pics <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
