Winch mount in the works

[hvac man]

I started my winch mount bumper last weekend but I didn't get to finish. I am going to try and have it done by next week I have 4 more bars and a winch plate to weld on before it is done. Here is what the progress looks like:

Kinda looks lik my new one!Link

Without the goofy Brushguard though!

 

[hvac man]

Yeah it is going to look a lot like that I just wont have the headlight guards

 

[Brian1]

Looking good!

 

[hvac man]

Thanks Brian

 

[Msupertek]

Looks GREAT so far!

 

[hvac man]

Well I got it all done but I have been working too late to take a pic so I'll get one in the morning

 

[Derrick C.]

Damn tease!!!!

 

[hvac man]

Well here is a pic of the bumper without the winch sitting on it. I just need to find an hour or 2 to mount the damn thing

Derrick C.- I haven't seen you on the sign up for the spring Moab trip I thought you Idahoans were up for a spring run

 

[Brian1]

Sweet! Do you have a shot from the side that shows how far it sticks out? I am thinking about putting a hoop on my bumper like that but still havent decided to do it yet.

 

[Kirby N.]

Ohh. Now it has a goofy brush guard like mine!!! Good idea to put the winch on top. I am actually puting mine below the bumper between the frame rails. You will have alot better aproach angle I think. Reminds me of the Avalanche Stinger!

I am going to Moab a couple times! I don't know if I will make it with the explorer group, but my brothers and the wives and I will defiantately be going. Is the group going for EJS or what? I like to go when there is no lines and I can get a hotel

 

[hvac man]

Yeah my buddy and I put a stinger like this one on his jeep about 5yrs ago and I have always wanted one since

The explorers are going in May but I am going to be a EJS too. If you head over to Moab give me hollar I live pretty close to there and am always looking for someone to go with.

Here is a few more pics.

 

[hvac man]

Thanks guys I still need to give it the final paint but other than that I really like it. I finally got the winch mounted in it last sunday on my way out the door to go wheeling

That looks great! Nice work.


I really want to go to MOAB this year, just turns out not to be a good time for me.

Nice, If you decide to market them and the price is right I would be interested in one. Good work.

Hey what diamater, and kind of tubing are you using. Im thinking of making one just like that and what to know what kind of materials to use. Thanks.

BTW Looks sweet

Does that big loop have another purpose besides giving some protection to the winch?

BTW It looks great!
