How are you intending on meeting the bumper to the wing arch? if you are that is.

I've got the old plastic bit of the bumper that used to live there, safely filed in the garage:augie As soon as I can find them again I'll put them on and do pics etc.:thumbs

Ye, i was going to say i like it too, but the gap bettween the bumper and the wing dont look right. have you got a pic of the finished version on the truck yet.
I want to put a winch on mine and have a budget of about £500 for the whole project, so this would fit in really well.

I like the idea of having two batterys on it too.

expensive bumper, But does look a treat.

By the way pete can I have first dibs on your mk2 winch bumper? :naughty

 

[makeitfit]

1st dibs to Fez :thumb2
Jace the bumper fits onto the chassis mounts the original bumper was located on. Then the bash plate underneath triangulates onto the underside of the chassis , again into existing bolt holes.
I've been winching with it and nothing moves for sure.
There's also a couple of extr brackets that fit onto the wing, just for good measure
£200 is a damn site less than that there aussie thing:sly

 

[jace]

ill have to get a video im 18stone and if i pull on the top bars of bumper i can pull it forward,ive pushed it back being lazy and using it as bull dozer to move stuff around and pulled it back out by wraping strap round tree but pulled to far and buckled bottom wing lol
i was hoping those side step things would give me some anker points higher up,maybe im being unfair as winch will be at much lower level so wont cantilever it out ,only one way to find out lol

 

[BongoBerry]

is there a finished product to see (mk2) that is?

 

[Fez_uk]

Yes, go a page back

 

[BongoBerry]

fitted with the "no gaps" option in the wing

i.e. a final product

 

[makeitfit]

No sorry never bothered, but Andy who makes them said he'd do a metal infill there to make it pretty

 

[BongoBerry]

I wonder if my TJM T15 bar from my patrol would fit my Terrano
