Camel winch bumper made australian

[51mondays]

hey folks I've been mucking around designing myself a winch bumper - the design is inspired by the camel trophy bumper



...but.... modernised to connect to the more aggressive looking base that Rijidij makes.

I've spoken to Murray from Rijidij and he's graciously maybe agreed to fabricate this up for me, ie using my alternative top part on his very nicely made winch bumper.

now if there is interest from the forum we could get one or two or more done. So let me know if you think this design is just what you've been waiting for and is amazingly fantastic and you have to have one.

I am very interested but would be great to see one on for real. I have the headlight protectors and have trouble finding a bar to suit, will this one fit? When are you hoping to have something ready?

Hi Corris110
My guess is that it'll fit, especially if we keep the top bar straight and don't sweep it back, as per the original camel trophy design. I recon that's part of its charm. I like the single radius bend ....just like the car.

We can check clearance with Rijidij to make sure but when the bar is actually made Murray can position it to work

Should be ready to go to the bender next week and then will depend on the workload at Rijidij

Yeah if anybody is into it let me know because it'd bring down the price as a one-off bend is quite expensive but the price basically halves each time...to a point

How did you go with this? Is it still being fabricated?

[51mondays]

Hi yes we haven't quite got there yet as Murray at Rijidij has been inundated by the likes of members on this forum
Still working on it.....going to try the top bar section out of 60mm pipe for a nice chunky look

Very interested in seeing it!

hi folks we've made progress with this project. Murray at Rijidij has kindly got the tube benders to price up the bar with a top section in a nice chunky 50NB (roughly 60mm outside diameter) bar. Chunky! There will be a little sweep in the bar to follow the line of the bumper below. Some pics attached.

If anybody is seriously interested let me know and it'll work out a bit cheaper for all. Will put the order in for the bending Monday
