Additionally, another user on the same forum mentioned that it is possible to fit a winch to a factory alloy bullbar, but brackets or a mounting kit from Toyota may be required.
When installing a winch on a Toyota bullbar, it’s important to ensure that the bullbar is winch-ready and has the necessary mounting cradle for the winch.
