Certainly a point good point

If you're after a winch bumper that can mount a 8274, then the ORA HD Bumper could be an option. It takes a bit of cutting but I've manged to fit a 8274 in a ORA HD Bumper

If you're interested I can post some pics.

That rear bumper does look pretty bulky. Doesn't go very well with the rest of the Jimny design.

The elite bumper is made of 4 and 5 mm steel. It held fast with brakes on and up a steep hill with just the winch pull with no probs. pulling a car out of a ditch as well with no probs. jimny doesn't get stuck!!!!

As for recover eyes on it I think they are 5mm material. For the weight of the jimny is plenty.

For approach angles it is far better than the standard bumper. I will take a picture from the side when I can.

Andy who makes this bumper has been making them for years for the LR boys and supplies flatdog, goodwinch, britpart and others with products. This is the first version he has done for the jimny. And I have the first off....

It's another offering its up to you wether it is what you want. I am very happy with what it does for me.

I don't agree.
It does not have to be extremely heavy to be super strong, just made of the right material and the right design. A Winchbumper could probably be made of Aluminium and still be strong enough, if it's designed correctly.

all cars incl Jimny's can get stuck. Relatively easy.

Yeah is a bit bulky and wide looks like a fat bird chasing a cake truck from behind :lol: deefo could do with some work on them corners think other problem i will have is a 33 inch spare tyre aint going to sit into that well in the bumper and i also need to mount a fairlead for my rear winch so looks like i will be fabbing myself .
Would love a ORA bumper for the front but my kids need to eat :lol: for the sort of money they want i can buy a shite load of steel and have hours of fun welding it up

anyone got a website for these Elite bumpers?

cheers
Tom

Is there a web site to look on prices pics would be good
