And it’s TRIPLE MF’n LOCKED! Maybe even quad locked.

Kidding aside, looks like a sweet truck.

 

[Deltadukman]

Yes, FJ60Cam, yes it is "TRIPLE MF’n LOCKED! Maybe even quad locked.."... I understand its not hip to say triple locked these days, as I forgot my logon and password, but to some people that don't know everything, you need to spell it out.

Thanks for the post Rob. Any questions, request to see more, or anything else, I can accommodate.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Its definitely hip to say if you’re selling one!

Thread?

Thread?

Probably not going to be one. No plans to build it up; only plan on bringing it back to its former glory.

We don't get a two buckets play by play of the return to glory? I'm disappointed.

Out of all the 80s for sale, this one tops them all. I dig the UTE tray bed conversion.

I’ve been looking for a front bumper for my 80 for a while. I wanted something different than the ARB that most people have. I settled on a TJM T15, but after much searching, found that they are completely out in the US and Australia. Then I moved on the the Ironman... but it was out as well.

I’ve been seeing more about another Australian company Dobinsons lately and then stumbled upon their bumper. After doing some research about them, I ended up ordering one direct from Dobinsons USA last week. Their customer service was great and they give a 5% discount if you buy direct.

The quality of the materials, welds, and powder coating looks really good. It was more modular than the ARB so I’m thinking it may not take as much bashing. I do like that the winch plate mounts directly to the frame and keeps the weight and stress off the bumper.

Here is the diagram, pics of before/after the buttom protection was bolted on, and the final product.

 

[wngrog]

Looks good. I’m guessing shipping was less if it came in pieces too huh?

 

[JTU]

@AndyO78FJ40 how thick is the bumper? Do the interior welds looks nice and clean as the exterior welds?

 

[AndyO78FJ40]

Shipping was free to the freight center in Richland. $902.50 total no tax.

Honestly I was sweating so much by the time I got to actually bolting the bumper to the frame mounts that had 8 bolts each....I just focused on getting to done. I have to take the bottoms plates off to wire the lights so can look then.

 

[wct49]

don't know much about that bumper. But I know what a arb can handle.
