New 4x4 Labs custom front bumper (1 Viewer)

[lostworldexpedition]

Here is a recap: I called called Luke from 4X4 Labs and kindly asked if he could make a simple, very light front bumper for my 60. A bumper that could accommodate a winch. "Which winch" he asked... "I have no idea, I have no budget for one yet."

He said he would build it and install it for me, so here are the pics:

Anyone care to throw in 2cents on winch options?

I have no feedback for the winch options but I dig the bumper...

I did something similar with SROR - and haven't picked a winch yet either... I'm looking at the 9.5ti or xd9000 i think. Someone correct me but they have the same mounting so if setup for something like this, you have a couple options and aren't locked into just that one winch.

GL!

Thanks Rob. I was thinking the Superwinch EPi9.0S Winch what do you think of that one?

I would definitely call Luke at 4x4 Labs he really does some quality work; however, I am pretty sure this bumper is a one off. He has something pretty cool in the works.... very cool.

nice! i like that it comes with the lighter line (vs steel) and the hawse - for that price hard to go wrong. Only 80 ft though, which should be enough, but i was thinking of getting the one w/ around 125 ft of steel line and replacing with 100' of the synthetic line to save weight.

how do they mount? same pattern amongst multiple models or each different? That might weigh in for me as well.

Sweet! I just placed an order for one from SROR that is similar. Lightweight, functional but still super sweet. Good work 4x4 Labs!
