the standard depends on the company. I think most companies use the same pattern but I do know there are a couple that are slightly different.

 

from what I read, winches under 10k use the 4.5x10" standard mounting pattern. Some of the bigger winches use a different pattern.

 

i sent them an email for a quote, im waiting to hear back from that. this sucks cause i really dont know what i want..

this is the only tube bumper i like, it was custom made for this guy from james duff, i asked if they could make me one and they said no..




if i cant get somthing like that made then i will resort to what i originaly wanted. with this bumper i can get a removable reciever winch plate and i can worry about what winch i want later..

 

I would just call Baystate and talk to them. Phone is a much faster way to contact people.

 

with torsion bars i would definitely want a removable winch. its just too much weight for the front of the truck all the time.

 

i wrote that wrong. need to proof read. lol

i meant the winch pattern has to match the winch plate/mount pattern

 

so if i have any problems with baystate, Zach you think you could make this bumper? im assuming tube is cheaper then what i originaly wanted..

im liking the tube bumper with reciever idea alot better than they other one i wanted, the more i think about it the more i want the tube one.. i dont know if i like the light tabs mounted so high but im sure i can find another place to mount them..

and with it having a reciever i dont think i will need d rings, what do you guys think

 

I can do a tube bumper like that. easier than the other. Hardest part will be making it for a truck with a 3" body lift.

 

random question but whats the point of the huge hoop infront of most pre runner bumpers? i like the idea of protecting the grill and whatnot but how the hell do you work under teh hood with out taking off the bumper lol

 

well one like mine is there for engine and frontal protection, like going down a steep incline and the back floping over to the front.

 

ah.. makes sence.. but anyways i just wanted to thank you guys for all the help on this.. ill keep you updated zach, and thanx for the local shop info andrew, wish one was closer but its better than nothing

 

Looks like mine...
