Money Shot..................

[Thumper113]

Had to winch 5 vehicles last Sunday. It was a fun day

Here's a couple more. A Suburban & a Yota. The other two I have no pics but they were a FS Bronco & a Cherokee. By the way, out of eight rigs, mine included, only 3 rigs made it up without winch assistance, two were Rangers & one was a nice ass Cherokee.
Oh yeah, the Milemarker winch performed flawlessly 5 pulls in a row.

Here's a group shot of the rigs

what did the other ranger have for mods? and what model MM winch do you have?

looks like the new bumper held up great to the winch pulls too!

This is his Ranger, he goes by Starkman here

Skyjacker lift with ext radius arms, 4.56's, 33's, ARB up front & L/S in rear.

The winch model is the SE9500 with MOSFET instead of the old school solenoids. It pulled that heavy ass Burban up & didn't struggle anymore than the jeep I pulled up right before. This one works much better than the PE8000 my brother had, it's much faster & doesn't seem to overheat. Time will tell how long it'll last though. The price was right, not too much more than the PE8000's. By the way, I looooove the winch rope, no more cable for me.

Yer still a poser. If I would have had my head out of the dark place I might have tried to make it.......

Thanks. I didn't make the bumper. Mine & Starkmans friend, Jesse made our bumpers. Only 3 of those bumper exist. It's actual tubing, not pipe like I made my sliders out of. Here's his bad-azz Ranger......

Any chance your friend would consider producing those bumpers?

gotcha. so what size tube, 1.75"? I assume he used an actual tube bender or did he find a way to make the HF bender work?

I doubt it, he doesn't have the time lately

Yup, it's 1.75" and he used a bender like this one.

 

[Bray D]

Yup, it's 1.75" and he used a bender like this one.

I figured as much. They look great. if I have enough cash layin around this summer I'd like to get a bender. but for now the HF has been working.

 

[Thumper113]

Yeah, I hear ya. I have the HF bender & it works pretty darn good. I never experienced the issues some other folks had with it. I did make the bumper below for a freind for his ZJ as an experiment & the HF bender worked good for it.

 

[Bray D]

ah yes, that's the bumper I was thinking of. got it confused with the ranger bumper. so is that one out of 1.25" pipe? 1.5"? did you fill it with sand to prevent flattening the corners? I used 1.25" to build my tube doors (see cardomain) and didn't fill with sand. you can definitely see how the corners are flattened. I'm not too concerned with the doors being like that but when I build bumpers I want nice bends
