the bumper for the tacoma weighs 52 kilos. the varying weights for the winch could add up to an extra 50 kilos ,depending on its rating.with the weight of the fairlead and rollers this could add another 30-40 kilos...do the math.....

So wouldn't it have been easier to say, 'without the winch and ancillaries, (if any), it should weigh approximately 52 kilos'?

no......because at first all i could find was a guy saying his set up weighed less than 300 pounds fully winched up. i only just found the weight for a tacoma bumper(which is the closest similar tapplication i could find)

anyhow do they weigh as much as an ARB ??

So you were never actually referring to an ARB bumper for a Tacoma then? By Christ, that's just as useless as my reply was.

Yes. Both posts i looked at (on some strange southern states forum) both reffered to a tacoma ARB bumper. The second post detailing the weight properly took some time to find, as i had to trawl through a lot of "goddamms" "mighty purtees" and "yeehaas "

And Wodders supplies the answer, weigh the ruddy bumper on your bathroom scales !!!

If they can take you, they can take the weight of the bumper

well you and wodders got it wrong again we not got any scales

Yeah, but was that weight for a standard Tacoma bumper, or an ARB Tacoma bumper? If the latter, obviously they must weigh the same as an ARB bumper because they are an ARB bumper. Obviously not true if they're the former, however.

Nah, easier to use sacks of spuds. Less packets to faff with.

It obviously has to weigh the same as an ARB then, with it actually being an ARB. There Gramps, that couldn't be any simpler, could it.

She may think he's taking the pee out of her weight if he asks her. You know what these wenches are like.
