Re:
I think Dave was referring to the Barjo full bull bar. This is the only Australian Bull Bar I know of for the xtrail. All others, including the ones sold by ARB and ECB (nudge bars) are manufactured in China.

Re: Winch options
Not being familiar with what is behind the bumper in T31 models, there either seems to be enough room in front of the radiator to fit a hidden electrical winch or there is a bumper an under-carriage extension that is being sold which has provisions to house this winch as per the photo below.
P.S. Off-topic, nice of ECB to already design bull bars and nudge bars for the T31 Series 3 and 4, I will post this information in the corresponding thread.

Re:
I have seen these around and steered well clear of them.
Although they may work a few times and get you out, the damage caused to the CV's, bearings and front axle splines will cause premature failure for sure.
You will also need 2 sets as if winching in reverse, they will dis engage from the wheel nuts.

Re:
I can only imagine what a continues load on the studs will do over time. Definitely not an option I would consider.

Re: Winch options
I looked at the options very carefully after we got the Exy and the 4WD bug bit hard and figured that the sort of driving the X-Trail was designed for meant that I wouldn't need a winch. However, if I wanted to do more serious off road work then I'd need a vehicle that I could mount all the "toys" on. So I drew up a list of what I'd need and found a vehicle to suit.
That's why there's 2 Nissans in the driveway and why the Navara goes on trips where the misadventure component is higher. So you guys don't need to worry about fitting winches you just need to make sure you invite me on the trips (when I'm back home of course)
