Front bumper

@Subway4X4 @Sub-Zero @HolyHandGrenade @Blackout14 @theHunter
Putting it here so we don't get flamed for being off topic in the Rausch Creek forum.
Here is my bumper now with the smittybilt x20 12k winch with synthetic rope. I need a new bumper that will accommodate the winch and still look good.

 

Soon

 

Give us some more info on bumper. Manufacturer. Specs.&$??

 

The one that's on there is Fab Fours 140lbs. Winch is 35 lbs. So trying to lower weight but still be able to use the winch up front.

I have the same winch inside my BFF Plate bumper with full hoops, a custom 2" receiver and 2 pairs of LED Cut-outs. You tell me if it looks good.


@HolyHandGrenade has a BFF Hybrid bumper
@bski22 has an Aluminum BFF bumper
@Fifthwind has a ARB bumper
@Sub-Zero and @Nimble9 have Ebay bumpers
@fatfurious2 has a Pelfreybilt hybrid bumper
@stairgod built his own bumper
@Blackout14 has a Mobtown bumper

 

Winch is more than 35#. Typo?

 

I think the problem @Braves95 is having here is that he is looking at a bunch of 2nd gens that have the pleasure of picking from a pleather of diff companies offering high clearance front bumpers and the fact that the 3rd gen world just doesn't have this luxury available just just yet yet....

 

I don't think Jon built his bumper, just the stinger

 

turd gen Problem

 

Oh yes. Sir. It's a 3rd Gen.

 

Mitch WAS my idol.

 

Say @Braves95 keeps the damn bumper and goes for a full big boy sas front end and adequate rear to accompany a great build in the end

 

There's many different options...first, since you like your current bumper,I assume you want a full plate bumper over a tube bumper?

 

Sorry Dave. I don't have any idea who makes what for third gens.

 

Damn.
How'd I end up in the third gen thread?

 

Yep it is. 63lbs. So the front bumper and winch is 203lbs

 

More like 70lbs.

 

I think my Pelfrey Hybrid bumper was 110lbs, and my winch is 55. I have a Smittybilt X2O 10k with synthetic line.

The bumper i can take on and off without much trouble. But now with the winch (a little back pain) I can take it off with minor discomfort.

 

That's where I posted it as I have a 3rd Gen.
