i don't like it.The winch would look betted closed in.If it was closed in it would probably look alot better tho

[slobodan]

I agree, it's not the best looking winch bumper.

yes , not a nice looking bumper , but the price looks good.
maybe a bolt on cover would work .

Yea just something to cover it in would make all the difference as it looks total c rap as it is.I like the way he has done it to fit and come level with the arch ext.Also the tow eyes don't look to strong.I think one in the centre would of been better or even the 2 but tucked up under it a bit.As it looks at the moment its looking like someone has just welded 2 bent bits of bar to it and it lets it down

I quite like it.

Not impressed, although I do think a lower down pic would give a better idea on the towing eyes but as said, it needs to be closed in in some way or even just a lid of some sort to still allow access to the winch, fair play to him for doing it though, I know I couldn't, can't weld for toffee , price seems good though.
I think I would want to see one first, I just don't think those photo's do it enough justice to be able to say for sure.

I like it, its much less sticky out than our Warn one. And the open bit makes it less imposing than a solid bit of metal all along the front. Plus its easier to work on the winch than a hidden one.

Agree about the tow eyes, but they probably are strong enough.

Thumbs up.

Someone should tell him that Scotland is part of the UK.

The bumper looks OK mind you and as they are made to order, he'll be able to leave those silly looking eyelets off.

i'll second that..fabrication looks spot on otherwise, maybe tweak the design around the winch..

That one looks perfect.

What style indicators will be fitted?

[slobodan]

The second one looks better, I would personally like a bigger viewing hole or slot in the top so I can see if me cable is sitting neatly. I don't like leaving kinks in the cable.

Yep, that one is much better looking. Still can't understand why he thinks Scotland isn't in the UK though.
