Bumper integrated winch mount - product dev questions

subd

 

I'm going to schedule a redesign of the 05-11 bumpers here in a few weeks and we'll get a batch of these built. The 12-15 bumpers are in production and have been selling well. We shall see about the 2016 when one is where we can lay hands upon it.


05-11 owners go see this thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...1-bumper-redesign-truck-volunteer-needed.html

 

that looks good blends really well.

 

I have had my eye on one of these for a while. I don't need a full bumper, but I want somewhere to mount a winch that has integrated recovery points and this is the only thing I have found that fits the ticket. I'm definitely interested in one for my 2012. I'm just working on paying the truck off and getting some better tires.

 

palfreybilt also makes a hidden winch mount blindingwhitetac.

 

Probably could of said this with a PM rather than on a sellers development thread.

 

geez, now I feel like a doob because I did the same thing.... sorry Brad

 

IF you get this installed, would you mind taking process pictures as you move through the install? I am on the fence between this mount and the Undercover HWMS, I have seen install pictures of the Undercover HWMS and you have to take the entire front end apart as it replaces the aluminum bumper structure with a steel one that has the wench mount making it totally hidden. I like both, but the thought of not cutting out the center of the bumper is attractive to me.
However not having to take your entire front end apart (if this IS the case) is also appealing. Already have the Warn VR8000, just need to pull the trigger on the mount.

I guess its going to come down to total cost and delivery, the one I can order and get with little or no wait time will be the one I buy (I am trying to get this done before March when I have surgery on my arm, then I will be out of ANY maintenance whatsoever for several months).

 

DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD!!! I Like

 

I've been lurking on this tread for a bit. Plenty of cool stuff. I have an Undercover HWMS, and I do like the US Offroad version - especially for the recovery points, but one thing strikes me. The Undercover seems to mounts the winch a couple inches higher. (I'd love to get a side-by-side.) From some personal mud-hole experience, I like higher. Here's a view of mine.

 

Love the taco! Saving my money now (almost there), will have a wench mount soon.

 

You need a mount for your wife/girlfriend .

 

Lol, hey I don't always watch what the spell check replaces my words with, guess it would pay off to do so.. but I already have one of those, it was built in now i need one for the "Winch"

 

Same here! Want to see finished product and price

 

Looks like you skipped the D Rings. Any ragrets?

How was install? Would you buy it again? Who did you buy it from? Which winch?

 

Went to the web site ! Nice.. Gonna save the $ and get this

 

Would you make another one of these?

 

Where did you get your low pro bumper?
