winch bumper

[ihbinder]

well i know that i personally didn't want to put up the kind of cash the big brands are asking for their bumpers but i had been wanting one for awhile. so i designed and built my own. and for any other local guys who wouldn't mind saving some cash contact me and i'll build one for you as well. the bumper is cnc plasma cut built out of 3/8'' steel and winch plate is 1/4''. designed to hold up to a 12k winch. i attached some photos...

Nice looking bumper.

The last pic looks like you are winching the Z.

Hey, are those the new BFG Muds?

Nice work!

How do you engage and disengage the winch?

well i've seen bumpers have the access hole engage and disengage in diff positions. so i held off on precutting the hole until i figured out what position would be best. prob through the top of bumper?
