Ye that tube bumper does look nice Scottie
I'm not a big fan of tube bumpers tbh I like my simple box section jobbie
But I will make a winch bumper for mine in a couple of years once I have a spare car and have a decent job

Re: DIY winch bumper, ideas? Designs?
I may do something like that someday. I have a winch, a Ramsey 9000, sitting about - but I have no idea if I'm going to bother fitting it.dazerede wrote:

I put my bullbar bac on and I fucked up the brackets lol leans forward about an inch an a half lol got my box section today so just need to crack on with it and get it shaped, got the body lift to do first so then I know where it is going to fit so it's all tidy inline with the bottom of the body...
Got 4 mounts made so far for the body lift just need to make 6 captive lifts and 6 blank spacers and find a way to make thn stay in place..

Brake lines are on the chassis, going to unbolt the brake feed splitter and then after lifting I'll bolt it back to the inner wing, it it needs a bracket I can easily make one for it...

Re: DIY winch bumper, ideas? Designs?
I know your thoughts Scottie! Haha but it's all I can afford to do at the moment so it's something I'm willing to try, it's only cost me £36 so far...
