Bumper integrated winch mount - product dev questions

And on that note. John has been great to work with, patient and very flexible about this. You guys need to buy him a cold one next time you see him. Me? I get to crawl over and under his truck one more time but at least I have it down to a fine science now.

I take it this will be weld on? And it looks like we will still have room for a 30" bar on top. Looking good. Definitly interested

 

The winch mount/bumper bolts on. If you want to weld something to it then have at it, it's bare steel from us.

 

As Brad said, there is enough clearance on top for aux. lighting less than 3" tall - so you would be able to fit a Rigid SR Light-bar for example (1.625" tall), but a full-size E-Series would be too tall (3.25").

Also take into account that you "should" have a open section in the middle to be able to see your winch line, esp. when spooling the line back in to ensure it wraps evenly on the drum.

I like Brad's idea to add a few Dually-style lights on each side, or even a couple 10" Light bars to each side would work!

 

if anything the mount is bare steel so you can buy some light tabs and have them welded on, there plenty of room at the ends for two tabs

 

price!!!

 

looks great
so when are you building one for a 4th gen 4runner

 

Machine shop is running a day or two behind. If I don't have it today I will tomorrow.

Well... I'm working on that. 12+ Taco first... but I'm working on something to expedite things.

 

I'll be posting up the group buy later today for the 05-11 but now I need 2012+ up local owners that are able to turn loose of their truck for a few days here and there... seems to take about 3 sessions of measure/build/fit to get it right. This occurs during the week. The machine shop is in north Fort Worth, south of 820 west of Meacham field and I35.

So, don't volunteer unless you can make that happen. Just want to be up front about this so no one is put in a bind.

 

I have a 2012 and live in Irving with Monday and Tuesday off every week and I'm off by 3pm when I work

 

I have a 2013 and I'm off the next 4 days. I'm close to FW.

 

Here ya go guys. Group buy list is open. I posted a few quick/dirty pics of the 'final' version along with a ton of info.

I appreciate everyone's input and look forward to getting these to you guys in the next few weeks.

Come on guys only three people so far....

 

I can't wait to see a final painted version of this. Love the one on my wife's FJ!

 

i wish, but this just jumped out of my price range

 

Finished/painted pics with a winch mounted would get more people onboard. It's all about marketing!

 

subd for final pics
