No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi all

I've spotted a winch bumper on ebay and I'm wondering if anyone has used this type of bumper ? I'm looking to fit a winch i was going to use a jimny bits hidden winch tray but the full bumper isn't much more cost wise . Im worried about approach angles with the large steel bumper fitted would it be worse or better than standard ?

This is the bumper in question Look at this on eBay

Thanks in advance

Ask the seller for an image of it fitted to a Jimny.....and what it weighs.

You usually get what you pay for. And this bumper does look a bit flimsy.

Most of these type of bumpers seem to reduce the approach angle by sticking out the front more than the original. I'd stick with the hidden winch tray. It's tried and tested and much neater.

As already stated, That looks very flimsy, Also i dont like the position of the mounting points in relation to where the winch will sit..
It looks as if it would bend foward on the mounts if winching something very stuck.

It's been fettled just a tad.
