Re:Re:Re:Re:Re:Re:My Jimny gen4 South Africa mods/build thread

My comments relate to the actual extra mounting. As I haven't seen the bumper or the structure it is bolted to, I wont comment on that.
Firstly I would use flanged bolts mounted head down. If you hit a rock flanged bolts will shrug off the blow whereas a nut with protruding bolt thread will take damage. The clamping to the crossmember requires spacer tubes to allow a decent amount of tightening without deformation.

Des Sol had a pro make the video. 

yes I agree. I am very happy with the bumper. solid and very strong. the extra plate is definately not required. merely added it as my previous winchplate had it.

But lets give credit where its due. The dessol bumper is one mean bumper. thoroughly designed and tested. no regrets

Flanged bolts aren't necessary. That lot is all covered up by a sturdy crash plate.

SAXJ,
indeed. that crach plate is solid steel plate. it will need proper "crash" to just put a little dent in it.

No side bags on mine as it is a 3 and I would have to modify I'm sure.
