So what are the winch mount options with this bumper on an 03 model? It looks like a receiver mount. Any chance to mount it on top of the bumper?

there isnt one for the '03 model yet

It was my understanding from the thread that he was working on one and would have one ready soon. I am wondering on this planned bumper what th winch mounting options are.

there are a few guys that have asked about that and when I can get a minuite I will be mocking up a mount that would allow for the winch to sit higher on the bumper instead of down in front with the reciever.
If it was mounted to the top would you want the reciever?

If you have tabs for the shackles, I wouldn't need a reciever. Are you thinking that the higher winch mounting will be drop in or a permenant mount plate?

I am thinking that I might design more of a permanent mounting plate thet matches what the accents that are on there now (where the shackle mounts are) that would bring it out enough to mount a winch to the top as wel as still give the liscence plate mount on the front.And offer it both ways so peopl that want a recievr can have one and people that want it mounted on top would lose the weight of the reciever tube since they would carry the winch all the time.

Fair tradeoff. I like the receiver model, can't wait to see what you do with the winch mount.

a good poly paint on an epoxy base can be harder and take mre abuse than a powdercoat. Im sure rush would agree with me. Where i work we have some of the parts on our cement trucks painted and some powder coated and 5 to 10 years later seeing the trucks rolling down the road you can tell what has what by how warn it is. An paint is a lot cheeper and you have a lot more variety. Oh and rhino lining. If you thin it out a bit more it looks just like paint anyway.

EDIT otherwise the rhino unthinned comew out like normal...... like cottage cheese giving it that wet look

Sure sounds like an invitation for me to speak up if I ever saw one :wink:

I real good Epoxy Paint and would fit right into a shops siutation. You may want to look into a mini spray booth with a fresh air supply system. You already know the name Rustoleum, but this is not the product you will find at your freindly neighborhood Home Depot , Lowes, Ace Hardware or whatever. This Rustoleum product is made by and sold to their Industrial Coatings Division if you can't find one in your area. I can give you the name and number of one here in Denver. This stuff is so tuff one of their sales aids is a square peice of metal coated with the Industrial Epoxy the salesman hands you a BFH (Hammer) and tell you to have fun pounding on it. It doesn't matter from which side you hit it the paint does not come off. Now having been in the paint business for a while I had him leave some paint with me and I made my own metal plate and mixed it up and applied it ans allowed the drying time and even to make sure waited some time longer then pounded on it myself. Same results it didn't pop off. They designed it for Dump trucks and Cement trucks. So if you need some PM me and I'll get you address's and phone numbers if you need spray equipment I can't get you all hooked up there also. :twisted:

I would be fine without the receiver, if it the winch mounted on top of the bumper as long as there are tabs for shackles.

hey Crash, any idea how much the weight would be reduced by removing the stinger? Also, have you considered possibly making a slightly lighter duty version to reduce the weight?

Sport · **Posted:** Wed Dec 19, 2007 10:04 pm

Crash, this is totally off topic so if you want to discuss it through PM, that is probably best.

I was wondering if you would be willing to fab up a stinger bar that would bolt up to the existing bumper cover into the metal below. Kind of just sit on top and bolt through. That way I would be able to mount lights to it stinger style. I have a front hitch now and just want some added lighting without any added bumper weight. let me know, thanks.

I thought about buying one for a TJ and testing to see how it fits.

Without the stinger it weighs in at 110 lbs. I dont really want to make a lighter duty just because they are already out there. If you are not going to bash it off rocks and stuff there are a few places i could lighten it up a bit maybe down to 100lbs.

So has anyone gotten one of these installed yet? I just found out that I might be getting a Warn 9.5TI for Christmas and will need something to mount it too. I don't think sitting on the hood holding the thing will help me get unstuck.

Great gift (LUCKY!) but.....cart before the horse? :wink:

I guess that gives you the excuse that you HAVE to get a bumper to mount it on......... Part of your evil plan huh? :twisted:
