KAP front winch bumper

Has anyone got any pics of KAP's front winch bumper? I'm interested to see what it looks like as they are only 20mins away so I can collect one if they look good!

I'm also considering an ORA one but need to see the KAP one 1st so I can make my mind up.

They dont seem to have any pics of the winch bumper on their website. I'm going to call in next weekend for some other stuff so if no one on here has any pics I'll ask them while I'm there.

Thanks

i don't know about the kap ones but the o.r.a bumpers are not striaght forward bolt on the brackets have to be welded on the jimny first

Sorry no pics but a few people ive spoke to dont rate KAP stuff in general, personally i have none of their stuff so cant comment.

ORA seem to get the vote from people ive talked to.

Cheers guys.

I'm not too bothered about having to weld brackets on as I can do this at work!
I think the KAP one also requires chassis modification.

If the KAP one is any good then I will get this. Mainly because I can go collect the bumper rather than with the ORA one where I would have to pay postage.

Thanks

i think the o.r.a one requires chassis mod too from what ive seen on a write up from another forum but i do like the o.r.a bumpers they look good quality.

if you can weld why not make your own ????

Mainly because I can only do basic welding! I wouldnt no where to start making my own bumper!

If you are only 20 mins away why don't you go have a look.
I gather there is a new design so that is why there are no pictures
The ORA one is good quality as I have an early one on my Jimny but I don't know anything about the quality of the KAP one

Just out of interest why have you not considered the Rhino Ray bumper??

He builds the bumper directly on the front or the jimny and gets just how you want it, i would rate his work as excellent had an offside head on crash (around 35mph) with a ford transit and the bumper did not move (but it did hurt!!) But you do have to got all the way down to Brighton.

Hope this helps

As far as I am aware, both the KAP and ORA ones need welding on.

My KAP one is permanently welded on, ORA one have weld on mounts which the bumper then bolts to, enabling you to take if off if necessary which seems to be a good idea to me.

The rhino ray ones ive seen dont "look" very nice to me, probably great bumpers though.

The KAP ones definitely need welding on. To achieve this its necessary to cut back the crash protetion part of the chassis. Here are some pics of mine which I had sprayed to match the car.

Our ORA bumper is bolted on to the mounts with 4 bolts which will make winch mounting easier
