MAF 4+ Bumper....any club members have one?

[Degnol]

I am looking to closely copy the design, but I'm not into making them for sale. Just one....for me. I need to take some measurements and wondered if anyone had one that I could come and look and get some dimensions.
I'm in Harrisonville, but will travel to see one up close.
Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,

Ed

Hey Mike, the newer one with the higher mounts = better departure angle. Spare tire on driver's side and the cooler/jerrycan holder on the pass side.

This one....

I had the older one with the lower mounted basket. I really liked it until I went to Katemcy, TX. That's when I realized the basket was too low...... Erik build one one a few years ago for one the GCC guys and I ended up with it for a while then sold it again.

I'd guess if you were to gather up the steel, the spindles for the hinges, some lights and a latch it would be a good wrenching weekend project. IIRC the mount plates were 3/8", the two main tubes and tire carrier tube was 1/4" wall square tube 2 1/2" or 3". The cooler baskets easy. I'd suggest when you do the tire carrier to set it up so you can bolt a complete hub to it..... easy access to spares on the trail.

I think Poser said it was 3/8 wall
