warn winch bumper build

300tdistu · Jun 1, 2012

got a warn 8274 a few week ago, but didn't like the winch tray and bumper that came with it

as you can see it ticks out to far

so time to make a new one

need to cut the grill so i can sit the winch tray 2 inch further back

as you can see i got the measurement wrong for the bracket to the chassis

how things will look

time to test fit the winch, see if the hole for the bolts line up

the only advice i would offer m8 is dont mount the side toobs at an angle as in your picture it will ruin the look of the front

on my last fender pete made me front bumper and got is high up and far back as poss

the reason for the angle it to match the rear bumper

What's with the plough? Bumper is a bit pointless with that on don'tcha think??

that an old pic of the rear

i still have a tow bar as i tow sometimes but it sits high just under the rear bumper and need a drop plate to use it

I don't blame you for not liking the old one, that would have the approach angle of a bus

iv found some time today to get some more done on my warn 8274 bumper

all i need to do now is trim the end and put some end caps on and paint

Looks good that, mate ..

be careful with those swivel eyes some are really nasty and I wouldn't tie a shoe ;ace to them the ones with the big thick steel mount that has the swivel eye in it is the best type Ive seen but you cant beat a decent fixed tow point D Ring Ball or hole for a shackel

sorry the swivel eye is just for hooking up the winch line, to keep it out of the way. its not to recover from

like you say not safe.
