It seems like I have missed two 12 mm studs, only found 4 of them, will have a go at it again tomorrow night. All the other stuff is done.

Nice one! Look forward to seeing it done

Sitting here with my cup of tea patiently awaiting the next e-installment of the Swedish soap opera - "when i fitted my winch bumper" ...

Hope your haveing an easy time fitting this and not losing too much knuckle skin mate.

Cheers

Malky

Knuckle skin ..was that a swis porn film ???

Knuckle Skin? He was the leading man, co-starred with his "big" () friend Winch Bum-per lol

Old bumper gone. It was two clips under the headlights that was holding it, some brute force and it was gone.

But the holes in the new one did not line up so got some new problems.
Nothing I cant fix but there will be a delay

Looks very impressive, Danne. When you lay it out like that it's obvious where the effort and money goes.
Looking forward to seeing more pics, and also seeing pics of Greig's winch bar (thought you were broke, Greig? )

I'm still looking forward to Danne's pics

((see, Greig, no hijack here sounds tough but also sounds like it will be worth the wait when you can get everything up and running in your own place. We're still waiting for the builders to come and knock down my poor garage ))

Danne - which holes didn't line up mate? I had one of the four main bolts was slightly off but a little rub with a drill bit and it was golden?


cheers

I think everything is more or less off and in need of adjustment. The main installations holes where about 5 mm off sideways and 15 mm off in hight.

At least with a 15mm difference in the height you can drill out replacement holes that will not overlap the existing holes. - I would want to fill the old holes though.

I'm also thining I want some braces that run from the chassis rails diagonally to the bumpre as I don't like the fact all the winch power is going to be focussed on those four studs....

cheers

malky

I have a plan how it is going to be done, you will see in the pics ones I am done.

Hmmm I want a bumper now lol.... Could spend too much money!

Well ROBL200 given the fabrication issues Danne and I seem to have found on these, I think if I was buying again I would wait for MCK to fabricate one, his work looks like its beyond reproach.

cheers

Malky

Yes would also recommend that you wait until we get a forum bumper, because it is a lot of work to get this to fit. And I think the forum one will be a bit cheaper to.

I think the weight puts me off slightly. Something like manraj's one would be awesome

Found this truck on ebay a while ago, it has a good looking bumper.

That looks good, want something solid at the corners and with bars to protect lights etc if I manage to whack the front off something

looks like a winch tray in a standard bumper with an a bar fabbed into the winchtray....

Not difficult to make either.. good point is that it fits with the original bumper and must be loads lighter than the ARB stylie ones, I think Geoffs is 96 Kg ( not sure if thats with the winch..)

Not sure if thats with winch onhis lez mine total came to 84kg including winch, i imagine the a bar may make up another couple of kilo's or so and i went for a 13000lb winch i think that now may have been overkill.... recon the standard was prob aroun 35kg ish?

that is the same shape as i do the land rover one so can be changed for the l200

which one steve the one danne is fitting or the one in the pic on the white mitsi?
