Cheap Winch Bumper Found on eBay

[Banshee]

looks a bit scabby and without sounding pompous I don't want to fit anything that shabby to an 04' that I've actually got looking like a decent truck for once :thumb2

might be Ok for someone though :nenau

Clearly thinking he's going to get the earth for it :lol :lol

 

[Barrbeast]

My ARB Bumper cost me under £400... as Fez says new fabbed winch bumpers are about half that. Think someone's seen £ signs

In fairness that bumper would probably clean up quite nice but since it's not a name brand like ARB etc you don't know how well built it is unless you view it in person :nenau

 

[elty001]

looking at the last picture I thick it is where it needs to be:lol
also looks twisted or might just be the angle of the photo.
too much going on with it shape wise for my liking,keep it simple but strong and effective.:thumb2

Get me one made then Elty, I suppose it's OK for you to use mine as a lab rat if you must :sly

 

[Fez_uk]

Someone on the FB group has made the one banshee linked too.

 

[Banshee]

I'd love an ARB one :bow

 

[elty001]

Someone on the FB group has made the one banshee linked too.

yeah he's selling it for 150 quid,still f**k ugly though:lol:lol

 

[rustic]

I see there is also a snorkle on the truck in question...:augie

 

[russell.huffer]

Barrbeast ARB fr under £400 must have been second hand then as only arb I have seen have a 1 at the front of that, I would love that.

Kind regards

Russell.

jordan loftus on facebook has exactly same one made by a bloke in sheffield.
i was going to buy it for 150 but its not just 150 is it. it would be a winch and all the other bits and would of been 500.
need to sort my other problems first.

Will have a good chat about it over the weekend meet :thumb2

Bumper 150 winch 170 jobs a goodun :thumb2

 

[Sweety]

What winch bumper:nenau all I see is a snow plough:lol:lol:naughty I'm with Banshee here no way would I even think of fitting something like that on my truck

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

I quite like it, at least they have made an effort to get it to follow the lines of the old bumper, so no nasty ugly gaps between the bumper and the wing like a lot of the ones I have seen have.

Only thing is, as Elty says, it does look twisted, and it is to far for me to go and check it out before bidding. Actually it's to far to go and get it as it would be a 600mile round trip.

 

[makeitfit]

No it's aweful. A snowplough is exactly what it is.
It's been for sale for ever decreasing pounds for months on faceache.
When I saw the first one I tried suggesting politely that it stuck out more than the std plastic bumper
What's the point of fitting something that reduces your attack angle ?
Still for sale ? I wonder why ~? :lol
Get one you like fabbed for 200 quid easily.

 

[exosteve]

yes attack angle severly reduced

Yep, best eBay bargain I've had yet :thumbs Couldn't believe it when I saw it! :lol

Interesting thing about the ARB bumpers is that the winch mounts differently to most other bumpers. It bolts vertically to the inside face of the bumper right between the chassis rails. Most others I can see, the winch bolts horizontally between the rails.
