Installing a Domin8r Extreme Winch in an Xrox Bar

I install a Kings 4wd supacentre domin8r extreme winch in to an outback accessories Xrox bar.
In this video I try to answer my question of if it would work.
I received this winch as a gift so I had done no research as to what would fit and what wouldn't. I just tried it out to see what would happen.

[@TheebayOffroader]

I just fitted the same winch to my Jeep JK yesterday. I fitted it behind my opar bumper, between the chassis on a mounting plate made from some 180mm channel. Fits and works great. One thing to lookout for is CHECK ALL THE BOLTS! The winch seems to be really good quality, with a really nice textured coating, but every bolt needed tightening.

[@andrewduggan9002]

Thanks this was helpful. Pissed myself laughing at the 5mins thing - I have had so many project days like that.

Thanks mate ! Appreciate the support

Hey mate the new dominator xtreme winch you can rotate the clutch house.

[@alexsallery]

When did they bring the new Xtreme out? Becuase this video is only 6 months old, but I was under the impression the xtreme version the clutch can rotate

[@davidcowan1583]

@@alexsallery well the video they put out about the rotation was 24th March 2020 as linked. So i guess this year kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGTQcoh9bbd6opY

David Cowan oh awesome mate, thank you 👌🏼 looks like this bloke was a few months premature but Atleast he’s happy with it 👌🏼👌🏼

[@dustytechnician8424]

Should of taken the front grill off mate, 4 bolts would of saved you unbolting the winch 6x but solid video! Good stuff mate!

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

I asked and you delivered. Thanks mate.

[@silkyslim8]

Nice install bro! I had the same issue with my arb Sahara bullbar. I can only reach to change to free spool by opening my bonnet.. pretty irritating

[@bigdawg3373]

keep us posted if its a reliable enough winch. want to get one but been umming and ahhing about the kings one.

[@jasonmorgan9838]

Best winch for the price definitely competes with the others if not better best value for money, definitely kings best product they sell. Highly recommend

[@RyvalCreative]

I don't really use a winch very often I just was given it as a gift from my family. For the money it's definitely the best option for me as it will mostly just sit there and be used on rare occasions. If I was planning on using it every weekend then I definitely would go with a more reputable brand

[@DyanMaguirsFilms14]

Pull the control box apart man. There’s a hole on the top of the xrox bar for the remote plug.

[@RyvalCreative]

I did see that but couldn't really find a good spot to mount the internals of the control box, was easier just to bang it on top

[@joeyfirriolo4800]

So do you mean Mount the control box on the inside next to the winch with the socket facing up to the hole,?

[@davebradshaw8780]

It does fit it does rotate, ive got same units on my delica, my control box is under my drivers blinker

[@RyvalCreative]

That's good to know, I need to get around to hiding my control box

[@davebradshaw8780]

@@RyvalCreative even bring the control box into the cab, under dash fit, sneaky shit that n 4 bolts on rotation is fine, ive done heaps a recovery,

[@joeyfirriolo4800]

Can you send a pic of that. I was thinking of putting the box in the same spot on my Delica. Have to make a bracket or something can you share what you did?

[@kenanschoon8585]

Kings has a video on how the clutch rotates so definitely check that out

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah I did! Haha I can see how it works in theory but mine doesn’t line up

[@jonathantheori7541]

I just put the control box inside the bar on the passenger side

[@SuperMctank]

Mate are you still using the winch? Happy with the setup! Ive pulled the trigger on the exact setup

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah, had no dramas with it! i don't use it very often so it's more than enough for me.

[@samueljs7583]

Hey bro, nice video! Since you have this bullbar, which is not the most aerodynamic on the market, have you seen you fuel economy affectes but it? Cheers

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate thanks! Nah I didn’t really notice any difference to be honest

[@mrcrankyank]

You reckon it’s usable long term with the knob at the back? Or will it shit you off and have to change it? Mint rig btw 👌🏽

[@RyvalCreative]

Thanks Mate ! yeah i dont use it too often anyway, dont think it will be an issue

[@lkmore23]

Nice brother

[@Briansunday-zw8wb]

Hey mate, I have the same setup but when installing mine I end up with the little round shaft streight where my fairlead will be.How did you get around that issue?

[@alexsallery]

Perfect video for me mate! I was under the impression it could rotate on the extreme! Do you rekon you Could fit 2 x 7” spotties and the winch control box all under that center loop , control box in the middle of the 2 lights ?

[@RyvalCreative]

Nah I tried to fit them all but not quite enough room, the winch control box can mount somewhere else behind the bar though. Just need to find a spot and make a small bracket to hold it

[@alexsallery]

Ryval Creative thanks mate, I’ve got a couple mates with different bars who have mounted the control box inside next to the winch And I was wondering if there’s room to do that on the inside of the xrox

[@smitty8370]

@@alexsallery you can as I used to have it set up that way just doesn’t sit perfectly straight and need to bend the bracket a tiny bit, only just moved the control box behind the grill

[@darren6285]

Where'd you find a 3 hoop xrox? I love these bars, but hate the single hoop design.

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

You cut the 8mm of bolt off that is ment to account for the 8mm reinforced plate most bull bars have

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah, if you don't cut anything off the bolt wont thread all the way in as it hits the back of the hole it goes into

As comments have stated the clutch housing can be rotated to put the lever at the top. The link below shows how to do it. It doesn't mention that you up with one less screw in it but it works fine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGTQcoh9bbd6opY

[@rileybeste236]

Just wondering if you have a winch cradle in there, I have an xrox bar and wondering if a 12,000lb winch would snap off the screws without cradle

[@RyvalCreative]

Nah i dont have a cradle, the bar says it can take a winch mounted directly to it

[@danielreisinger105]

hi mate, i've got an Xrox bull bar, not too familiar with winches set up etc so sorry if it's a dumb q. Is the winch cradle a seperate piece which I need to order from outback armour? Or is the bar already ready to go to whack the winch in. cheers mate

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate all good! The bar is winch compatible as is so you can just bolt a winch straight up to it

[@danielreisinger105]

@@RyvalCreative legend thanks for your help

[@jonathantheori7541]

How did you put the battery in the wireless remote? Do I have to unscrew it?

[@bigoz1734]

Bolting the winch to the winch cradle or directly to the face of the bullbar? Which is the more safe and strongest? I have a different bullbar but did it to the cradle.

[@RyvalCreative]

Harrison this bullbar has no cradle so just to the face of the bullbar

[@ethanmitchell2656]

Hey mate, how much lift do you have, and how big are your tyres. Is it worth the money for the upgrade?

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate, have 2" Sus & 2" Body and tyres are 285's I think it was all worth the money, I'm happy with it

[@MegaMr28]

@@RyvalCreative 2 inch lift with these bull bars i think would make it non ADR compliant.

@@MegaMr28 They make brackets to accommodate up to a 2" body lift while maintaining ADR compliance.

[@joeyfirriolo4800]

Show us how you did your number plate mate

[@RyvalCreative]

I can show that in the next video but it’s basically just a folder bit of steel bolted to the bar and then the number plate is bolted to that

[@alexsallery]

Hey mate, what fairlead did you use?

[@smitty8370]

In most cases with xrox bar you’ll need to use a offset fair lead and also the thin bar that you can see needs to be removed

[@morganleck7460]

Hey mate do you have a problem with the negative touching the bar i did and it sent sparks every where

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate nah have never had that happen luckily. Might have to make a small hole in that spot or cut the negative post down slightly if it has enough thread left over

[@MrJabzi]

What's the weight of this winch. Together with the bull bar bumper

[@RyvalCreative]

Around 50-60kg combined I’d say. Definitely adds some weight over the front end

[@petersmith446]

you can rotate the gear box on it

[@RyvalCreative]

Not much use when the bolts don’t line up to put it back together though

[@petersmith446]

@@RyvalCreative i just got one last week and it rotated 90dec and all lined up the one i got is the extreme

Yours must be different to mine or a newer design. Mine will not bolt back together if I rotate it

@@RyvalCreative the problem i have is i need to rotate the motor 90dec or cut some steel out above it to get clearance on the 3 cables as they are shorting out on the car the new model has the 3 cables altogether on top of the motor

Clearly says rotatable clutch housing on the box

150mm bolt pattern offset fsirlead? have the same bar and winch and yet to install. does the winch sit a bit high for the standard fair lead

[@nathannorton-clement5229]

thanks mate. did you get the Hercules one?

[@nathannorton-clement5229]

question - wouldn't the bolts still hit with the offset fair lead since it's getting bolted in with the winch using the same bolts? unless there are different holes for the fair lead?

Nathan Norton-Clement nah the offset one uses the bottom bolts of the winch

[@one1shot1shaun]

I thought the xrox bar could only hold up to 9500lb

[@RyvalCreative]

Their website says supports up to 9000lb low mount winch but that would probably be because of the bar thickness and design rather than the physical space limitations

@@RyvalCreative so you think it would be all right I'm looking at buying one and I have a 12000lb
