your only holding that on with 2 bolts? that does bend or anything, lol i guess i over do stuff i was planning on about 6 u bolts for mine

 

Correct, I won't overbuild unless I think it's really needed. If you look closer you'll see:

1) it's mounted on the largest tube of the bumper.
2) The plate is "behind" the tube, so on a hard pull the 1.5" angle is pulling on the tube, not much on the bolts.
3) the bumper itself only has 6 mounting points anyway.
4) being small it won't catch a lot of mud and crap.

It's on my to do list to add larger bolts. But if I get really stuck I'll get more pulling points...IE more than one winch and more than 1 ATV.

Good Luck,
Rob

 

i wish i knew what i was talking bout

 

huh...don't ask us, I'm not sure what your talking about either. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

eh we don't what were talking about either, we just fancy words to make us look smart,

anyway rob i guess im use to winching trucks out of mud that get buried, u needed very good mounting points or you are ripping your winch off the truck or bending most of the front frame, guess it doesn't get as bad as that

 

I understand that. Where I ride at our weekend place we have to many tractors and/or dozers if the going gets to rough. no need to tear up a nice truck when I can get a tractor with a front loader and get somebody (or myself) out. Even better with a back hoe. You really can't get a backhoe stuck.

 

lol, i got a back loader stuck once, well i didn't my boss did, was a 4x4 too, had it sitting in about 4 foot rutt buried up on the frame, took 3 tow trucks to get it out, cost him somewhere in the area of 500 bucks to get it out, boy it was a bad day for him

 

where did you get the 424 kits, and how much should I expect to pay? I got the 04 es rancher.

 

bought mine on ebay for about 230, installed myself, best investment i made next to the quad itself
