ARCHIVE 40 SERIES FRONT BUMPER (1 Viewer)

[405]

@OPMACHINE just sent you a message

Can anyone with this bumper tell me if the "Vegas Gold" (pewter) color matches the silver finish on the rear bumperettes?

@405

Vegas Gold is the closest powder coat color we have found to the OEM pewter color. It is not perfect but its pretty close and a durable and UV rated powder coat.

@OPMACHINE Any pictures of the clevis version in Vegas Gold?

Just unwrapped one from @OPMACHINE

Here it is next to an OEM painted bumper and another bumper I had powder coated in Vegas Gold. Excuse the dirt on the other; for comparison, I cleaned off the right side.

The color between the two powder coated bumpers is nearly if not identical. The OP Machine powder coat has a slightly shinier finish than the other powder coated bumper, but that could be a result of age, use, weathering, etc.

Any Vegas Gold w/o the clevis version still left?

Do the fairlead holes line up with the lower winch mount holes? Such that a couple of long bolts could attach the fairlead and the lower part of the winch?

Recently added two more @OPMACHINE bumpers. All of my 40/45’s now have them.

And each one also has the proper 40 series winch.

If you have any more of these bumpers available before next year I sure would like to order one for “my wife” for Christmas!!

 

[OPMACHINE]

We will make another batch of bumpers but it is not going to be until next year.

Any updates?

You should offer a reproduction warn copy for us folks with domestic trucks too.....

This style Warn bumper is very straight forward. I could crank these out in mass with minimal welding or finish work. The biggest problem with OP IH8MUD bumpers is how long it takes to finished/grind down the welded corners.

I reached out to the vendor and the current price is $575....a bit hard to swallow since the factory bumper is available new for $165. Otherwise, an excellant product! I also asked why a steel cable roller lead can't be utilized as mentioned above and the response was it is possible but, someone would need to send a fairlead for them to take measurements.

OUCH! CCOT has a HFS winch bumper that looks great, gives more clearance for off-roading, and cost a fraction of that price.

These bumpers have quadruple or more labor involved to manufacture. Some people are willing to pay more for the OEM look.
My dad is very excited to get his for his 77.

I think he meant for his W350 Dodge.

Here’s one we installed on @PhrogsPhorever 1970 last year. It worked really well with the 4Plus brush guard too for a super vintage look.

They definitely look like high quality pieces for sure.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Great quality and craftsmanship. Well done. Maybe someday I will be able to get one.
