Measure off the chassis rail to wheel and adjust util both sides measure equal

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.

Looking good Stan I do think it will look a million time better with the wings back on tho

Ya I'll try them back on over the weekend, otherwise I'll be getting the grinder out to cut the ends off the bumper, which would be shame as it's so new

That'd be pretty silly to do. Then you might as well have bought a cheap winch tray instead.

What's wrong with have the wings fitted? They're very easy to trim.

I would also trim the wings, who knows you may want to sell on the bumper at a later date ...... :whistle:
