tkgibbs27 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 any of you guys have a build up plan for a winch bumper?
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I started and kind been stalled...started with a Detours BACK BONE winch mount.. CW
BLHTAZ Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I don't have the facilities to make one so I ordered this last week from ProtoFab through JeepersDen :D
89eliminator Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 here is a few pics of the one i built. (towards the bottom of page) http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... c&start=30
moparmatt Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Tape measure and Sharpie. I will be building one this Summer.
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 You just prompted me to throw on a Westin push bar I grabbed off the wife's WJ she totaled last year. Pics to come...I don't know if I will like it, but lets see how bad it comes out... CW
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 It does stick out kinda far...don't know if I like it or not.....I'll leave it for a couple days and see how I like it. CW
tkgibbs27 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 dang that does stick out far. ha to far for me. looks good though. this is more along the lines of what i am thinking about doing, but not sure yet. hope motion offroad don't get mad, ha i can't afford to buy it straight, so i will just make my own. i kind like the one wade has. http://www.motionoffroad.com/index_file ... _front.jpg
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 anyone have the specs? like how far apart the mounts are and how far apart the fenders are,?
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 also does anyone know where i could find a front end (grill, lighting positions) like this, or would it even fit on the mj? http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/images ... kee_XJ.jpg
Motion Offroad Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 also does anyone know where i could find a front end (grill, lighting positions) like this, or would it even fit on the mj? That is just a '97+ grill/header panel and lights. The photo does make it look a bit "different" however. I assure you it's just the photo, and that bumper is on a '97+ XJ. More photo's of that Jeep/Bumper combo to show you.
86FUBAR Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I made mine outa some 3/8" plate to the frame , 1.5" pipe and 1/4" plate for the winch mount .
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 looks nice though. man i like that bumper. i like this one better, how much would it be with the grille guard. once i start working, i may have to get this one. http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index. ... cts_id=229

The grill guard is a $185 option. The euro bar (hoop on the top of the brush guard) is an additional $30 option.

xjcrazy09 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Are you planning on fourwheeling the Comanche with the far out bumper?
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 not right away, but eventually. i gotta get a lift, convert her to 4wd. and all that fun stuff as well. she'll be a slow build up project, plus she'll be a dd until i get another vehicle, which i will more than likely end up getting a xj for a dd. bs walks, so i am just talking until i get a job and start pocketing some money. but those are my plans though. could take a few years.
xjcrazy09 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 oh ok... well i was wondering what the approach angle is on that when off-roading but I guess thats on down the road. ::Edit:: why the heck did i post this here? Did i post in the wrong topic or was something moved?
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 yeah. well i will probably forget by the time i get it or something like it. have to wait and see though.
tjbliley Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I am using a custom4x4fab front bumper. I love it. fit is great and I am looking to add a ligth hoop in the next few months.
tkgibbs27 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 now it's just going to be teasing me. i like that extra space on it.
gixxerman600 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 tjbliley - i love that bumper were did you get it?
tjbliley Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Custom 4x4 fabrication http://www.custom4x4fabrication.com/ It is just what I wanted. Good fit, nice lines. Not alot of $$$ either. I got mine used, but they are still not bad new.
