Warn 8274 bumper

Finally got it finished today still need to re model the bonnet but all mounted and ready for paint

Tidy job & looking good there Dave ...

Looks really good Dave, I bet your pleased with it!

Yes it has come out well and only weighs in at 18kg without the winch so well happy with that took me a day and £50 for the steel so cheap as well

Looks a damn good job engine looks good too tdi lump ??

Yes mate Isuzu 1.7TDI (Ex mk3 Astra) bolted to a jimny geabox

Looking really good

Got any pics of the underside and mounting points as well ?

Do you have more pictures of the car and the bumper? looks great!

Few more pictures for you bear in mind i do not have the jimny front cross member as my front axle sit 75mm further foward than standard this allows me to Run 33s with ease and up to 38s if required without hacking away at the floor with a welder and grinder so also my steering box has been moved foward by 75mm.

Cross meber fully welded and gusseted in place

Thought would Ali chequer plate to the top of the bumper give my winch Bitch somthing to grip onto

My recovery points are also welded to and wrapped around the new cross member NOT on the bumper as when using a snatch block you can double the load on the bumper mounts

Also diagonal straps back to the chassis with strenghtening plates welded to the chassis this is to counteract the rotational forces on the bumper when the winch is pulling hard will prob end up with twin motor set up so there are massive forces apon the bumper and its mounts

Dave I love everything about this build. Its a cracking Jim. BUT please don't use the chequer

When's the maiden voyage? did the Izuzu engine add a lot of weight?

Oh... and your missing the snow!! Woooo..........

Agree with Sponnie

This is a great build. And I can understand the purpose of the chequer plate. But no, it does not look good

Have you got any mods for the winch planned?
I want a Bowmotor 3 for my 8274 when I have the money.

Ha Ha yeah chequer plate = landrover will remind my skinny mate mark when he clambering onto the front and slips and i end up digging his theeth out off me plasma rope
