Winch Bumper On

So the winch bumper arrived and after looking at it for a while I figured out how to fit the thing.


It took a little while to align it properly on my own so I'd suggest you get an extra pair of hands if you can,

Now I'll either have to put back on the wings or else cut the bumper......I think I'll cut the bumper to make it nice and tidy, then again I might try the wings back on first before I make up my mind.

The mounting plate has 3 large 12.5mm bolts on the side and 2 10mm bolts on the front of the chassis legs, then the bumper is mounted with a further 3 12.5mm bolts on each side.

The nice thing is that by removing the two upper bolts the bumper can swing down to gain access to install the winch, or to do maintenance on the winch.
