2012+ Winch Mount Bumper Development

I don't have a group buy planned right now as quite frankly I'm having a hard time keeping up. Just built 50 of the 12-15 versions and will have to build more before I know it.

But you never know...

I just hate doing group buys when we hit the hot time of the year as we have a hard enough time getting orders out in a timely manner as is.

 

subbed for future reference

 

I'm still looking for a group buy too.

So, I've painted mine twice now and have had no luck finding a durable paint that even sort of handles rock chips. My next option is bedliner, though I'm not necessarily a fan of the look. If anyone has a more durable alternative, I'm willing to entertain it (short of pulling it off and having it powder coated).

 

i have a 2015 tacoma with a ranch hand grill guard if i install the winch mount can i still use my grill guard?

 

I think the bottom bar on your guard would interfere with the winch line at certain angles.

 

Correct.

 

Anyone know of any source for shortened 'sub frame ends' - the subby bars seen at the bottom of the photo below. Seems a U shaped piece of steel with a weldnut in it for the bolt that runs up from under would make a nice end cap that doesn't stick out nearly as far. Throw a little satin black rustoleum on it and make a bucket of cash from all the guys running plate bumpers.

 

The part I think ur referring to slides right out once you take the bolt out.

 

Yeah, just throw it away. Problem solved. Mine have been gone for a long time.
