Winch Bumper

[mtrecon]

I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but we would like to get a winch bumper for our 2011 xterra. Recommendations would be great, pictures with the recommend better.

mainly ..shrockworks or hefty fab works
ARB also do one and i'm sure others

Shrock will take 6 months if not longer... Heft is about 2 months out.. and ARB will ship to you today..

ARB is the only one that doesnt make the front bumper to fit for a bodylift..

There is always this option if you just want it for the winch..

And if you get into a small crash you can kiss the winch and radiator good bye

I have a TAG bumper on my Nissan Titan, They are made to order and you can specify which lights and how many you want recesses for, winch mount, front receiver, shackle mounts, light hoops, etc. Very resonable prices and shipping cost. They have some pictures of exterras on thier site. I received it about 3wks after my order was placed. I'm very happy with it.

Better thread on the subject, if I do say so myself.

And TAG is the new KMA. Same folks, changed their name. Rumor has it that this was done due to some bad press back in the day.

some well deserved bad press at that.

I got an ARB for my truck thinking it would bolt right up, my friend also did the same on his Taco. Both he and I could only get a few bolts in in the original mounting spots, my tow hook front bolt was broken inside the boxed in frame. I just bolted what I could and welded all the rest, works for sure but would like to mention to others not an exact fit.
cheers

What can you build? Got any pics of previous builds?

 

[RonapRhys]

Try thenewx.org, xterra.org, clubxterra, and a few others. Several people have built their own, ranging from normal armored bumpers to tube bumpers. For the most part, Xterras and Frontys tend to look better with the armored bumpers, but there area a few tube bumpers out there that are simply awesome.

I just received my Heftyfab bumper for my '08 Frontier and it's NICE! Stout, quality welds, bracing in all the right places, and ready for my winch. Painting it this week and will mount it all up this weekend. Was 11 weeks from order date to delivery date. Would have been 10 weeks, but I added a transmission skid plate a couple days before he was going to ship it out. So he just held onto it and shipped it all together. He always answered the phone when I called, always answered my PM's quickly.

Not sure how much longer he's going to keep building them, but i definitely recommend Chris at HeftyFab Works.
