warn bumper question

bananamane · 05-12-2006, 07:07 PM

so today i got my warn bumper and it came with some brackets (2 w/ 2 holes in them). what are they for? would it be used if i had the grill guard?

any chance they are used as washers (instead of 4 round ones) and they go under the nuts?

i dont think so, they are like 3 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick. i have everything mounted i was just wondering what they were for

I believe they are spacers for a winch plate to provide more clearance between the roller fairlead and the bumper.

I'm pretty sure they are spacers for a winch plate cause i got the same things when i put my warn bumper on. Let me know how the powdercoat works out for you mine rusted in less than a year after owning it and they wouldn't cover it as a defect. but other than that it's a nice bumper i like it. I have the front and rear warn bumpers and i made an oversize tire carrier for it. I'm happy with them though other than the rust.

good luck chris

Wish I had known you before I bought mine . Like the bumpers but I had the same rust in under a year . Must be the town of Colchester puts down alot of salt in the winter ! I have mine off the Jeep right now and plan on getting some safety chain tabs welded on and repainting them .

yeah pretty much i just haven't really bothered with it yet but it's pretty bad... I plan on doing something with them in the fall possibly after my I6/AX15 goes in.
