Custom Winch Bumper

Post by MadMax78 »

Well, I finally had a bumper made for the Cherokee. Turned out better than I expected. :mrgreen: Have a Warn M8000 on tap for when I need it. Looks great with the old school KC Daylighters. I thought of putting an LED light bar on it but it just wouldn't look right. What do you think?

Nice. I have to build protection for my new winch so it doesn't disappear too.

Thanks guys. Took me a long time to figure out what I wanted.

Tatsadasayago - I love the KCs. I actually have 4 more that I am trying to figure out where to put them. Really don't want to drill holes in my new bumper.

The round KCs look good with the razor and Round headlights.

And I like the rectangle led with the Gwag square lights.

Both styles match your respective vehicles. Good work!!

Wow, stellar work on both those! Thinking about putting some of those KCs on instead of the little squares I had on before. They look more 70s for sure.

SO who did it and how much? Did they save some sort of plans off yours so they can build others? Looks great! Don't get to Little Rock often, but may have to get a closer look some day!

Outstanding! I've been considering one for my Farnsworth J2600 but I can't decide what to to. I like the look of the original three piece chrome bumper but do like the look of a beefy winch bumper too. Your's looks great!

I don't know if he saved any plans but I'm sure he could replicate it. Bobby at cruiserco.com built it for me. Honestly I have no idea what I have in it. I had so much done when he had it I lost count. :shock: I am going back to see if he can do a rear bumper soon as I can.
