building my front bumper.. need some help
« on: March 29, 2006, 09:01:25 PM »
he guys need a little help from you,, i'm building my front bumper for my sidekick, one kinda like the calmini winch bumper, and i was just wondering if any one had some pics of the back side of one, attachment points or extra bracing for the winch, any help would be much appreciated, figured i can build the bumper much cheaper then pay the price and exchange rate for a newone..( 8)

For extra strength the Calmini bumper has a plate that bolts under the winch area.  This plate then runs down and attaches to the round crossmember with some u-bolts.  If you find the refernce that Tom mentioned I think that you can see it in the pictures. 

Good Luck!!

I'd like to see those pics too, as I have the same plan.  Can anyone post or link them 'cause I can't seem to find them.  :(
