Whats a good winch bumper make?

Where is everyone when you need them

Looking for a subtle winch bumper to fit a Warn M8000 - nothing extreme? Which are the better brands?

Hi,

have you seen this bumper ? http://www.extreme4x4.co.uk/acatalog/DEFEN...UMPER.html

I have heard good things about it

It has built in recovery eyes and Hi-lift jacking points plus the ability to fit swivel recovery eyes is a bonus...

First Four do a winch version of the standard tubular bumper I have fitted.

Pictures of the standard version in my gallery.

Have a Terrafirma (not the tubular one) with a Warn9500HS ...

Not the pretiest, but cheaper than some, and good quality...10 months and no rust anywhere ... so far! Regards

This is now only specific to the Warn 9.5ti and you have to buy both for 2k + VAT

Part number VUB500820

I am trying to go for something that looks like the original as possible and the Devon 4X4 clubman looks quite understated. Similar to the Terrafirma will check the price on that

You can buy it seperately if the parts guy in the dealership isnt lazy!!

I bought a genuine bumper a good few years ago,, mainly to keep the vehicle as per "approved" just in case

Thanks Andy will keep it in mind

Tim I was looking at the Devon 4x4 one as it looks the most standard, didn't you have one on yours, was it OK. I will call a dealer again today to find out about the genuine one but it will be a crazy price - so will probably go with the Devon one.......Can always put old one back on when servicing

Looks less imposing than than the others, First Four etc.....

Never had a D4x4 on any of the "road" vehicles etc, but chopped a few up on challenge trucks !!

Nothing to do with having a "Genuine" one for service/warranty etc, All the "bits" etc that i put on, i try and stay "type approved" as per Landrover fitment / accessories etc Keep the insurance man happy when i list with them all the "extras" and modifications etc A big potential "grey" area with some of the parts people fit California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Will call insurers before I do anything
