IronMan BullBar, KM2 315 & IronMan 4" Lift (Pending)

Someone asked to see how much an Ironman BullBar affected the Stock Front suspension a while back. I fell no change at all with the front bumper. Had a chance to take some before cell phone pics while at the beach today.

KM2 315/75/16 are ordered.
4" IronMan Lift is waiting on shipment to arrive.

I'm leaving for a small vacation to the Florida Keys Tomorrow and I hope all pending Gear arrives while I'm there.

Next Post should be in 2 weeks with the 315's installed with stock suspension, then the last post should be the IronMan 4" Lift with all the caster corrections goodies.

After I recuperate from this build, a Winch and rear bumper are on my list.

Well, I guess that answers the question of "where do people in Puerto Rico go for vacations?"

Now, about the cost on that front bumper.....
 
I am curious as to how close you are to hitting the bump stops on your front axle when you are parked on level ground. My stock springs are worn and I only have a couple of inches of clearance, but everything is completely original. I am almost certain a bumper like the Ironman or ARB would have me riding or almost riding on my bump stops.

PS- Great looking rig and vacation spot!
 
WOW!:eek:

I just checked the space left on the front bump stops and its about 1" +/- with the bumper installed !!!

I havent felt any bottoming out, and the bump stops look new.

I guess that 4" lift is going to come in just in time.

Can you please get a lower shot being even with the bumper? I'm interested in how much it will protect the AC dryer.

Thank you.

Sorry an my way out to airport, but I did get a chance to take this pic.

Looks like my dryer sits a bit higher than it should, which is a good thing I think:hhmm:
It also seems the bumper has the dryer covered by a few inches.

Here is a pic I posted before.

Its take at almost level, just a bit higher, making the bumper look really low, but I think its just my cell phones camera lens and angle of pic.

Looked it up, and it's $75.00 shipping to my address. Not a bad price overall. Anyone beaten these up enough to know if they're equivocal to ARB?

That's mighty tempting, right there. :hhmm:

How much do these weigh?
 
Looking at the shipping documents, gross was 175lb and the pallet was 50lb.
The bumper, winch mount and bolts weight about 125lb.
 
I am looking seriously int switch my ARB to my daughter's 80 and get me an Ironman...:steer:

Was it hard or easy to install?

It was a piece of cake to install. Stock bumper comes off in 5 minutes. Winch mount goes on in 5 minutes, using bolts into existing nut plates. Outer bumper goes on to winch mount with 6 more bolts. It took longer to unwrap then it did to install.....

So by this design it looks like you mount the winch to the carrier / subframe - and the bumper is a "floating" type thing?

Or do you mount the winch feet to the back of the face of this like an ARB?
