H3/H3T Winch bumper

[Waldo]

Wondering if there are any good Canadian suppliers that can source a front winch bumper? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and finally getting some self recovery gear and I've exhausted all resources to find a welder locally to build me one similar to a Fab-Fours or Road Armour.

I'm looking for an ARB even the SMA or Predator style that swaps out the oem bumper.

Contact T.C. on this site . He is ARB Canada (Montreal) ,Roys is one of his shops(London On area). Our Bull Bar set went on in Aug 2008 and only now is it showing any rust ( even after it destroying a boat trailer that atttacked it.) Also get the foglights at the same time. Go back on Sugarpheak's post on his rust issues with his bumper. Install is not hard But requires some cutting of a shroud and mount and some drilling and atleast two people.

I followed Sugarphreak on almost every forum he posted of his cluster bomb of an original Road Armour. I helped a local guy install one on his H3 without the brush guard and it went on flawless but he ordered it bare and had it coated locally.


I will pass TC a PM later. I'd be looking to coat the ARB in Line x anyway even if it was already painted. Ive installed several FAB-FOURS bumpers when I worked in the accessory department at the local GM dealer and know how much weight is there.

On an H3 I'd suggest a leveling kit . It makes front better. Two on Rhino ARB bumper is approx 3/16 steel plate. Lower rubber shield on rad  for winch pocket and lower rad pipe shield sre trimmed  so new mounts can be installed . Even the original tow points are retained . As for strength just ask Roadblock. We almost uninstalled his front end ( improperly installed ). PS have you got Rock rail/ side steps on if so where did you get them.

I don't have rock rails on my truck or side steps, my truck is bare aside from wheels, tires, & shocks.

I already have a leveling kit (t-bar crank, Bilstein 5160's and bump stops)


I read the ARB install guide on the ARB site a while ago and it seems simple enough.

Once I sell my current wheel/tire package, those funds are going to go towards some off road goodies.
