Bumper options for 2nd Gen

[AndyLala]

Obviously there are the Warn bumpers and the ARB/TJM offerings...

Found these on my surfing...

Some detail showing the mounting points of the all pro offroad offerings... Looks like a space frame without the steel plate covering... rather interesting...

These may be Patel proof ! Thought of similar for mine but made by Jotto .

That is the plan... Once I have moved... I will have plenty of cardboard left over... and will start making stencils up... Perhaps even "yotasurf" branded bits...? help raise funds for the site?

What? with branded CARDBOARD bumpers? Nice

Only the finest recyclable cardboard will be used

Yup, fully signed up card carrying wholemeal politically correct vegetarian cardboard... being the sensitive soul that I am...

And of course, cardboard bull bars would be pedestrian friendly.

Just like to see those protestors complain about that...

Next they'll be putting stickers on bumpers saying that the gravy contains beef extracts...

On a serious note, I know a chap who runs a little workshop and would do a very nice price to make things like that in Stainless or in steel to paint yourself. Has the big plasma cutter, and the benders.

However, if you look at the design you fwould need to adapt it a bit to accomodate the aircon rad. I would suggest that you would also need to change the design dependant on body lift - whats shown on that piccy looks like you would need min about 4" body lift.

But if we fancy doing a slightly 'tame' design to suit an unmodified 2nd gen, perhaps set up so it will recieve the 350quid winch on the forum shop, or have the center bit of dexan in for no winch - then I'm interested and could possibly get prototyping done at mates rates.

Is anyone serious?

[AndyLala]

The main images are of a 2nd Gen with only (4") suspension lifts, same as the Warn bumper. Aircon rad sits below the skid plate on both those...

[Medieval Dave]

O.K.

You want me to get an estimate for fabrication of one like it - maybe in stainless?

[AndyLala]

more than welcome to. i am going to do the same with Jotto... once I get round to drawing up a few plans...

Don't think it'd get as far as the bumper... apple and blackberry, or black cherry... Hmmmm sure there was one in the freezer somewhere,....
