H3 Winch Bumper and Skidplates

[whitehumh2]

If anyone is interested Matthew Defelice of Defelice Off-Road the maker of the extreme winch bumper and skidplating system for the H3 is willing to make the same products for the H2 if there is enough interest. He needs 5 guys minimum before he will manufacture the custom winch mount and skidplate system. See http://www.defeliceinnovations.com/PROD ... fault.aspx



If you are looking to upgrade your H2s skidplates and have a safe haven for your winch without affecting the approach angle of your H2 then this is definitely the kit for you!



Check out the pictures at the above link and see if this is something you would like on your H2!

Hi Marc,



I would highly recommend the complete Deflice Off-Road Skidplate and Winch Bumper kit as it is extremely well made and can really take a beating!



See the article in Four Wheeler Magazine;

http://www.fourwheeler.com/projectbuild ... index.html



This kit would give you the best overall protection and give you a safe and secure winch mounting!



Hope This Helps!

Kevin problem is your recomended supplier is not responding to emails Our H3 has the ARB bumper bull bars and a T-Max winch.

the other supplier's plates will fit them if you can get them  oh you'll need to put in a lift kit to bring nose up after adding the weight on the nose. parts from National 4x4 oakville tell them kevin and ron sent you.

National 4x4 in Oakville (on Harvester off Burloak) will install the ARB Unit and T-max winch ( wth RC control ) units cost less the a Warn with a standard external mount it matches into standard GM skid plate lower ( replaces gray plastic and silver skid plate front) so the full plate system if we can get it will still match in. If you go this way you have to buy ARB fog lights if you  want them. total bumper and winch 2500 approx.

fogs 160, lift kit not needed but nice to do 200 Have these dealer installed as alignment needed ( do it at semi annual service).



Installation is not hard just requires a few friends a little time a grinder ,jigsaw, some spray rust paint( use this to cover cuts ) . and basic tools  use blanket to lay things on and boxes to hold bumper while installing winch in bumper .  3 of us did it in an afternoon in a driveway.

Hi Kev



Anyone in Quebec or Ontario installing this, I hardly see myself going down Indiana to get this installed.

And as Shotgun said,, sent email my self and no response. But I noticed from 2 days ago that website is changing a bit. The project list was listing project from 2007 and 2006 not the DOI is listed for OFF ROAD and 4 Runner. So maybe hosting got changed recently and mail doesnt get through.

Hey Marc,



If you can get in contact with Matt and get it shipped here I will install it for you!



Ron, The ARB is a great bumper but you still have no underbody protection so that is the only reason I recommend the whole kit from Matt, you could probably also use the ARB bumper with the Defelice Skid Plates.

kevin first need a drivetrain that 1 doesn't go boom no more and 2 when it does doesn't take a month to fix.

truck shopped on june 8th transfer case again another broken chain but this time pump screen and bearings due back no earlier than the end of the month. Parts on back order GM strikes again.
