Title: XJ winch bumper
Post by: grayspeed on January 15, 2010, 08:06:07 PM: I need some pictures of XJ front winch bumpers.

Off to see David Bowyer at Goodwinch tomorrow to collect my new TDS winch :steeringwheel: :003:

Cheers
Nick

Post by: sprintagogo on January 16, 2010, 03:13:30 PM: I made my own because there is little to choose from in this country and what there is available is often excessively expensive (Landrovers have loads of choice and often for very little money :icon_sad: ). I also didn't like the way most Cherokee bumpers stick the winch tray way out the front, I wanted something a bit lower profile and I didn't mind cutting into the fibreglass front panel to achieve this.

Be sure to extend the side plates back along the chassis rails and use every bolt you can.

BE CAREFUL if you do decide to cut into the grill because part of the wiring loom runs in the lower cross bar below the rad grill.
