120 Winch Bumpers

[Trevor]

After my "incident" on Sunday, I'm looking for a winch bumper. So I'm looking for some shortcut answers as I'm all Googled out.

Requirements:-

ARB Safari type bumper - are there any alternatives?

If so who stocks them (including the ARB)?

Some web links please especially to pricing.

Finally, anyone know of one that incorporates the headlamp washers? Long shot I'm thinking but who knows.

Have a search around - there's some discussion in various places. Essentially there are three choices -

ARB from TBR or a distributor - srr their website as some of their distributors are members here ..

A copy from Freeways Latitude in France - looks good and about half the price - I'm probably going with that one ...

Make one yourself (or get someone to make one for you)

Oh yes - TBR also import the ASFIR bumper which is bloody expensive.

Haven't found a supplier of TJM bumpers ... Well not one that returns emails

I meant to say ARB Sahara and not [strike:3r5hzj6f]Safari[/strike:3r5hzj6f] (typo)

Yep, the TBR prices are OTT

The TJM .co.uk website isn't working so now to decode Freeways

Had a bit more of a trawl and have found the identical (I think) item on Alibaba right down to part number and photo.

It looks like the bumper is manufactured in China and bought in and resold by Freeways, what I'm not sure about is whether this will be EU airbag compliant or not.

Probably time to email Freeways and see what they say.

 

[Gary Stockton]

The response o got from them is that it was

 

[Trevor]

I see I'm treading the same path but a few steps behind you. Wonder if they will discount more than one on an order? If Crispin likes the look of this bumper......maybe 3 in one go

 

[Gary Stockton]

We can try - and Julian wants one for his 100 and Matt wants a roof rack so might be worth asking now

 

[Trevor]

Well, in all seriousness I'm in the market to buy in the next few days. All we need now is a fluent French speaker and enough of us to place a firm order.

What do we think?

 

[Julian]

I guess, we might be looking at a bit of a group buy then

 

[24Seven]

This is what I would like.

Had a quote of 130 euro del.

 

[Gary Stockton]

Could do - who's French is good enough to discuss and negotiate with them?? Not mine

Hmm I do like their bullbar for the 90:

Question is....do I really need one!? :confusion-scratchheadyellow: I know I WANT one!

Now you have made me want one as well

 

[Gary Stockton]

Need??? When did that last count for something??

We will need to announce this I think in case anyone else wants something from them ...

 

[ignat]

Go on, you know it makes sense!

Need??? When did that last count for something??

Not very often Pity this pesky 'budget' forces me to consider 'needs' over 'wants'..

Careful with that thinking or you'll find yourself driving a small front wheel drive euro box because that's all you really need

I could be persuaded on a bumper.

If there is enough and delivery is high, would it be an option to get a van or trailer and drive there? I'd be happy to do the trip (with a co-driver)

 

[Gary Stockton]

It's a long way ... Probably take oooh, about 3 weeks or so, what with skiing and sightseeing etc

 

[Trevor]

I have a twin axle trailer that could be used for such a trip.

 

[Crispin]

Sounds like a plan.... Right - french speak members? we we
