Re: Winch Bumper????
 This was made by KMA in 1999, this is like the second one they ever built for a first gen K5. They have changed the design over the years. I have modified the mounts and added gussets to make it even stronger.

Re: Winch Bumper????
PETEM1957,
How does that winch mount to the frame? Does it use the actual Ramsey mounting system? Bob

Re: Winch Bumper????
Bolts up with nice brackets not like some cobbled up ones that i have seen on other trucks so I am asuming that they are what came with the winch and specific for this application.
(no pics of brkts) |

Re: Winch Bumper????
Something like this one? These are original Ramsey mounts for the winch. You could either use the original bumper or get a heavy duty one which looked a lot like yours.

Re: Winch Bumper????
All these are look great!! so many options.. I really like VT's bumper, hidden yet functional... what did you use to mount the winch to the frame? Just reinforce the bumper or..????

Re: Winch Bumper????
Not that you are close enough, but on criagslist (in auto parts) in lincoln nebraska someone is selling a old warn bumper with the winch. He has been trying to sell the bumper for a while, and is now including the winch he used to have on it. A friend/board member bought the original lockouts from the same truck.
