Hanson 40 series front bumpers?? Anyone running one? (1 Viewer)

[Roberto]

Anyone sporting a Hanson front bumper on their 40 series and if so can you add pics of it. Was wondering what the quality is of them. They look very good but I am tossed between the MAF 4+, the ARB bull, and this Hanson?

thanks

We put one on our 1980 HJ47, then mounted a Warn Endurance winch. Probably see it here, we did a full story on it:

Sorry for the hijack, but what is with the hydraulic lines for the ram assist on the truck in that photo? I've never run one; do people really leave them dangling down below the tie rod like that?

Back on topic, I voted for the MAF 4+ and have been very happy with mine:

Just the hard core, real wheelers do; the rest of us route and secure them so that those aggressive curbs and small children will not get to them.


Nice Land Cruiser!

Thanks Steve; the H41 and Orion have helped a lot to make it what it is.

The Hanson looks cool, but the tapered bottom edge would concern me for steadiness while jacking against it. The MAF has a squared off bottom edge.

yes but on the 8274 version the hoop bar extends forward and effectively prevents the use of a hi-lift on that bumper. It may be doable with a jack extension tool like Slee Off Road sells, but I haven't had a chance to try that yet...

Does the Hanson come with a way to mount an 8274? I couldn't tell from their writeup...

yes on the Hanson, you have to buy a seperate $100 mount to mount the 8274, and yes you are right on the MAF for 8274 where it actually pertrudes forward which I dont really care for versus the one the slants backwards, other than that I love the MAF 4+
