After years of Off-Roading my experiences with fibreglass is thats its totally useless as when you flex it cracks so wouldn't look good in no time.
And the same goes for carbon fiber! Yes very strong if loads are spread out so for a winch bumper you would need a steel backbone for it to stand any chance of survival. All these things have been tried with no success.
The reason I revived this thread was to ask people what they wanted first. We know what we will be making and the list is a mile long but "what first ?"
I disagree with that if made properly would be fine but i make one off multimilloion pound boats so at a differant lever from most fibreglass and carbon parts made

And what happens to those boats if they come into contact with rocks ? Down she goes . !!!
Anyway back to the topic . Come on guys . What do you want first ?
Bumpers ?
Winch plates front / rear ?
Hd pahnard rods ?
Recovery points front and rear ?
Radius arms ?
Shock turrets ?
Roll hoops /cages ?
Uprated shafts cvs ?
Tubed front ends to get rid of rusted out areas under lights ?

Thats you right to disagree and I'm sure there are lots of parts on a posh cabin cruiser that would be suitably made from carbon. But if you make a winch bumper "properly" then send it to me then ill show you just how long it would last ! Its not something we will be fabricating but if you want to then start a thread on it instead of spamming this one.
Horses for courses as they say ! You wouldn't take a race horse into a bull ring.
