BogMonster Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Can anybody suggest a source for an off the shelf winchbumper to fit a Warn M12000 winch onto the front of a Puma Defender please? I have tried David Bowyer but he says he doesn't stock anything to suit that winch because it is larger than most and Google has so far failed me though still looking...

RedLineMike Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 i had a warn 12k fitted to the front of my 90 for a fair while, bumper wise i had to fab it from scratch as the winch is a couple of inches shy of each side inside of the front chassis legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta The ARB Defender Winch Bumper/Bull Bar is designed to take a Warn M12000, I would have thought that it would also fit a Puma engined Defender.

BogMonster Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 OK thanks I'll check that out. Any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Tried Devon 4x4 yet? I'd be surprised if they don't. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Cheers- sent an email to D4x4 though there is no Defender version of the ARB on their site. They sell the winch though, so hopefully will know of something that will fit. I hate to think what the cost of an ARB one will be by the time I get it here though...

I'm not sure if D4x4 are allowed to sell the ARB Winch Bumper/Bull Bar anymore, owing to the EU rules on pedestrian friendly frontal protection Could you order one direct from an ARB distributor in the USA?

BogMonster Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ah the good old EU Probably too much hassle and expense to get from the USA. More likely to be cheaper to get a new winch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Can you not get something fabbed locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 It ain't for me and paying for such work to be done is likely to be expensive. May be the only option though. Will await reply from Devon 4x4, nothing today. Probably too busy on the Billing thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
