Post pics of your front bumper! Looking for ideas on my 88 4runner. This was a good sticky on a quad forum I used to go on....maybe it would work good here??

Thanks Sean. It's been working extremely well. I busted the winch cable last time we went wheeling (pulling out a 2500HD), but the bumper held up fine.

malteserunner, is the bumper just attached to the 6 holes in the front end? im wondering if i should try and add a bracket on each side or is the 6 holes enough? very slick looking bumper by the way. who made it?

seanmearse

ummmm, whats the winch weight!!! but then again, who hasnt broken something trying to recover scrap from a mudhole!! LMAO!!

I've got an 8k winch, but it only weighs 80 lbs

Yeah, the six holes are enough. It is recommended to use a front cross member reinforcement kit, for heavy winching. You can get that from most of the off road vendors.
Thanks for the compliment on the bumper. My buddy and I built it.

Thanks man. There are a bunch of pics in my build thread (link in sig), along with all the back and forth about if and when I was going to build these to sell. We were so close, but things just didn't work out. I still have a bunch of tubing, and if my buddy and I decide to drop a grand on another bender and notcher, we might get back into building them again, some day.

hunter4runner

man wish you would ! I'll be totally honest I have never like the double tube on top but I love it on this, the only thing I would would different would be a plate over the receiver.

Can't play yet as I'm finally going to order up my Marlin Front and Rear. What I would like to see is if someone had been able to take a Marlin rear and make a decent swingout tire carrier with only a single pivot point (spindle) and single catch.

I don't have a good sketchup, but really how hard is it to make a decent single pivot swingout??

Maybe Scott will chime in??
