ARB TYPE BUMPER DESIGN

[dustbuster]

Hi Guys

I am looking at designing and getting an ARB type bumper made for my Hilux as the price of a new one is out of my budget. :alvarin: :alvarin: :alvarin:
I am good with 3D cad so am thinking of drawing it up the making it out of Wood/cardboard to make sure it fits onto the Hilux.

I don’t have bumper around me here to copy so will need your guys help with photos and advice, My idea is to make the bumper out of 2.5mm or 3mm plate I will then then flat pattern the 3D model and then get the sheet laser cut. Will then send it to an engineering shop and get the plates bent and welded together.

What I don’t know how do to is mount the winch to the bumper need some pics on that to see how they do it. Will post some pics of my model when I have started once finished I will post the drawings and cad files for anyone else who would like to get one made.

cheers

Dean as jy in die build-it-self afdeeling gaan rond blaai sal jy 'n hele paar ouens kry wat soortgelyk ge doen het.

Ek het viewtopic.php?f=41&t=14044" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Ek het hom so gemaak dat ek die onderste pyp kan uit haal en 'n voetstuk vir 'n winch daar kan in weld. Dit is direk op die hoof bracked van die bumper.

Sorry I'm a boer, so here go's my boerre enels--

If you have a look at the built-it-self section you will find that there are some oaks that did build there own
I did, and you wil see that I can take out the bottem pyp to install a vootbracket for the winch and that wil be direct on the main brackeds of the bumper.

Hpe this help

n mens kan enigiets ontwerp, maar asb, sorg net dat dit nie soos n anker lyk nie, glo my ons bou daai goed, en moes paar veranderings maak dat dit nie soos n anker lyk nie.
ons sal more pics opsit van ons design, hy het n winch mount in , hilift punte, recovery points, fog lamps en rap arounds.

Fit daai hilux presies en lyk nie soos n anker nie.

Daai bakkie is so 2 weke terug in n toyota tazz se gat in, afgeskryf, en daar is 6 krappe op bumper, daai bakkie het van tazz af reverse.

Daai bumper soos beskryf bou ons vir R 7500.00 vat incl.

Hi dustbuster

I am not sure what Hilux you are driving but I have a KZTE fitted with a ONCA custom made bumper. I am thinking of replacing mine with something similar to what Bushwacker have on his Hilux.
If you interested you can buy mine for a reasonable price .
