Time to build a front bumper....

I went to my buddies place to do some work on the 4Runner. I had to reinforce the frame where the steering box is mounted. Apparently it was in real bad shape.

 

While I was there, my friend mentioned how much work we would need to do to my truck to get it prepared for the Winch. Confused I asked "What winch" and then he continues to explain how he got a 12,000lb WARN to replace his 8000lb WARN. And that I'd be getting his old winch! :)

 

So... it didnt take long to start cutting plate and welding pieces.

 

Here is what we have to start with:

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5552&g2_serialNumber=2

 

and here is the winch:

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5561&g2_serialNumber=2

 

One simple plate, 4 holes... and here we have a mounted winch!

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5577&g2_serialNumber=2

 

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5573&g2_serialNumber=2

 

 

 

I have 25' of 1.75" tube to use, so when the weather clears up we'll have to bring out the bender. So far, I think i am going to do something simple like this:

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5586&g2_serialNumber=2

 

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5590&g2_serialNumber=2

 

Hopefully I'll have new updates shortly!
