Good luck with that. So many changes in delivery date was too late for me. Even if they arrive on the 16th they still need to get through customs etc so things might be tight for you
Still think it is the best looking bar for the 2014 but i am happy TJM bar

The AFN bars currently in stock all have the huge cut out for manual winch engagement which looks rubbish. 50% non refundable deposit required to order one without as they are not big sellers...
With your 4 month wait and prior bad experiences like that I have just about decided against it. Great looking bar... I'm spewing they weren't easier to get hold of.

Some photos of my car below. The light bar fits well below the cross member. It's a bit wonky in the first photos because it got bumped by a roo at 100km/h. It is removed in the Big Red photo because a second roo hit it quite hard and bent the mounts a lot - we had to take it off. The bar itself is fine - it has a small dent in the front section where a corner of the light bar hit it during one of the kangaroo strikes.
I've mounted a Runva 9500 winch inside - the control box is also inside the bar so there isn't anything showing apart from the rope/hook. It took a bit of stuffing around but isn't that hard to do using right angle shelf brackets from Bunnings.

Yes, there is a hole for the winch clutch but it isn't that noticeable. Even with the hole I think it looks better than (all) other bars which don't match the headlight shape and so use part of the original bumper. Plus if you put a light bar below the cross member it hides the hole!

Looks to tight to me.
maybe some one has done it on here.
it is not to hard to remove the bar if you have some help.
It will make it easier to mount the winch in the cradle and tighten the bolts i think.

TJM told me that it is doable though I have yet to try fitting my 11XP to the T3 bar. Christmas holidays will tell...My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
