cheapest winch bumper

[scotty]

any of u guys came across any reasonablly priced winch bumpers.

been having a look and the only ones that seem to be available are warn and arb. i do like the arb one but the £500ish price tag is a bit off putting.

i seems that you can pick one up for suki or a land rover for a lot less, around £200.

has anyone else got an alternative to the warn or arb?

cheers scotty

Some of their stuff looks mint, dunno about prices though, but they do have a UK distributor in Southampton- Platypus Trading. Contact details on link above.

This was one of the bumpers from the TJM site i was looking at. in the Hilux catalogue, it's for a pickup but i think the IFS version should fit, anyone know for sure? If so i'll ring for a price on monday. I gotta get a price for one of their snorkels anyway.

Aluminium. Like it. Let us know if you get a price and compatibility on it.

OK just rung platypus trading in Southampton, price for the aluminium bar was almost £800, plus £89 for the winch mount reinforcing thing.
Steel version was just under £500 and doesn't need the extra reinforcing for the winch mount.

Snorkel was £189 for a pick up one and they make up a pipe so it fits the surf.

I should get round to making a winch bumper in the next couple of weeks.
They will look a bit (ok a lot)like this and price wise about £350.
