Title: Winch bumper - Chief
Post by: Bulldog67 on May 25, 2011, 09:19:20 PM
Next probable absurd idea  :101:  but is there a winch bumper that would be for another more mass produced model that fits a Chief? Do winch bumpers cross pollinate in any way?

Ade,

If you have a design and measurements I could make it for you and ship it over to you on a pallet, would be cheaper than the US

TBH was a 'borrowed' template from a dood off IFSJA that IIRC Panic directed me towards, lots of pics and a write up so it meant that as time was tight my bro didnt have to fiddle around trying to work out from scratch, and of course didnt want it to big & heavy coz extra weight only slows ya down  :003:

once its bolted in place weld the bolt head and nuts, then padlock the loop at the end of the rope to one of your recovery points
