Does anyone know where i can get a winch bumper for the front of my truck? I have an 85 efi xcab. I've looked around online and other places but i can't seem to find one i like. The rear is a two tube smittybilt and i like it so i was thinking maybe something similar on the front? If anyone knows anything i'd like to hear about it!
Thanks

 

WAB FAB has good stuff ..bought my rear bumper there . I dont know how close the rear bumper you have will match but I can tell you WABS got good stuff.

 

I don't think anyone makes a bumper like the smittybilt two tubers that can hold a winch. Check out Addicted Offroads bumpers, they are great.

 

Cool thanks! I guess it doesn't have to be like a smittybilt just thought it might be nice to have a matched set.

 

You could buy a two tuber and modify it to use a winch, it could work.

 

I have a Smittybuilt front tube bumper on my 85 Toyota xtra cab with a Ramsey 9000 winch. Got the matching 2 tube rear too. Both bolted right up. Only issue was the only winch mount plate was for a Warn so I had to cut some of the length off and drill new winch mount holes.

I got it at Sams Offroad in Tulsa, OK.

 

I've looked at the ones out there and dont see any that really make me happy for what I want. I guess I am gonna have to fab one up myself. Dont like the ARB because of its shape and how it leaves too much of the front tire exposed.

 

I used the TG winch mount and build a bumper off of it.

 

I know it scares alot of people, but this one will be completely from scratch. I am not a novice at welding and fabrication, know the strengths I want, things I want on it, and how I want the finished look to be.

 

Draw what you want.

take to local welding shops

get best price have it built the extra added up front cost when compared with the shipping will work out. Besides if your dimensions are a little off it can be adjusted no big deal

There are those of us that build these things for people we know and just put the money in our pocket.

Cash talks in this business on little jobs like this.

 

I realize my truck is a 3rd gen but I did exactly the above ... Took a smittybuilt designed for a 2nd gen, combined with a bull bar style winch mount added some rad protection and welded it all together.... It worked great for me

 

Now that's an exquisite bumper!!! Good show old chap!

 

looks Good !!

Do you have any cooling problems or AC issues because of the blocked surface area??

 

Nope none at all .... There's a 3rd of the rad below the winch behind the added bars that gets a lot of air flow
