You sure that's not off of a Dodge Ram?

To the OP, I'd pay someone to haul that away if it were mine. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Think how much deer meat you could put in the frezzer with that thing. Bambi would not stand a chance. .....1978HJ45

this is always true when it come to these rigs...and accessories attached to them

 

[JohnnyC]

to answer your question...i think they were in the $225-250 range.


i would post it up for 100-150? and see how it goes

I think there is also an ideal tube size to match the vehicle. Not sure what that is.. maybe 1 1/2".

Yeah, I think this is the one you mean, the ultimate FJ40 winch bumper...

Only in Texas would someone think that was cool....

They don't still sell those do they? The HFS bumper they sell is simpler, looks better and simpler.

Not sure what the modern electric winches weight but if you added this bumper plus my old PTO driven winch you would be talking serious weight on the front of a 40 Series. Not sure if that weight would have any effect on the driveability.

Might help with cruiser sag (in the rear)

better for wheeling....lower center of gravity

Yes I could see where adding 300+ pounds to the front of a 40 Series could lower the center of gravity. ....1978HJ45

I agree it might not look cool wheeling around town, driving to the office and back or the occasional off-road weekend. However some folks still use their cruiser for work I bet that big bumper would work great for hauling fencing materials, woven wire or corner posts that will not fit in the back, or a bail of hay. If you’re a deer hunter it would be a lot easier to haul the deer on the bumper and wash it off, than to haul it in the back with all your other hunting stuff. In town the bumper would be quite intimidating to the idiot in the sports car at the 4 way stop that goes out of turn. If you did hit a deer with your cruiser that bumper would look much cooler and less expensive to repair than a bent up hood, fender and broken light. Your right beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
