He will if he don't get springs that can handle the extra weight.

Yeah.. And very wrong. The 65 kg is with a winch installed.

It's around 30-35 kgs the bumper itself.

I was thinking it sounded high. 35kg is more reasonable.

Not, it does not work like that. Springs are one thing. Shocks another.

Standard Jimny springs are made for vehicle as it is. But this does not mean that you'll not benefit from getting better shocks.

thanks! i already ask my arb dealer and it weights 50lbs around 23kg just the bumper,i am thinking on making myself one because its cost more than 1000$, but it will exactly the same as the classic arb for jimny, did you notice fuel consumption increase? power lose? 23kg its like having an extra small person (children) inside the car :silly:
