Please can someone shed some light on Series winch bumpers. Why are they so hard to find? Why aren't they readily available ? I just don't get it. Any ideas where I can get one from. Thanks
 
What kind of winch? A Warn 8274 fits perfect behind the stock bumper.
Or are you looking for a heavier duty bumper?
 
Thank's for all your replies. I guess I'll just have to make something up. I just wondered why you can't buy them.

Cos us Series III owners are masochists and always try and build something rather than buy something and waste money...
 
Yerp why buy when you can build and if you can't build you probably won't own a Series for very long :p

I got some 10mm thick steel plate and welded it between the chassis rails for the rear 2 bolts of the winch and mounted the front 2 through the original front bumper.
 
Bolted angle iron between bumper bolts for the back winch bolts and reinforced bumper with angle under the fronts, kinda worried for a bit that the whole thing was hanging on the 4 dumb iron bolts but its pulled 2 1/2 tons vertical and 4 tons rolling and aint ripped the front off yet!
