Hey guys, just looking for advice/experience/opinions on what thickness plate steel should be used for a winch bar? I have considered 6, 8 and 10mm at this stage, the winch is a low mount 9500lbs and will be mounted horizontally on a winch plate that will be welded to a bracket each end. Vehicle is a gq wagon.
I ruled out 6mm originally for the brackets and winch plate but having read Millwelds website and noticed that they use 6mm for winch plates and sides I pretty much had to reconsider it as it costs less and weighs less. What are peoples thoughts?
