Default winch/bar

Found this pic on here while searching for winch mounts. Anybody know if this was ever released or who it was that was going to release it.

Ouch...was looking good until you read winch is not included, brush guard is another $1175. looking at around $3500 for everything. I may have to lookinto the Predator system or other options.

Thanks for the link.

that's hummbebe's rig if I'm not mistaken, they used hers as a guinea pig for making the original model of the pushbar/bumper, rear bumper/ladders and roof rack....nice products, but IMO your only asking for problems having that much weight hung off the front end. The t-bars will loose their spring rate and the front will start to sag in no time....going to need to upgrade the t-bars toa higher rate set sooner than later.

She did upgrade to custom made t-bars and shocks.......$$$$$$$$$............Did something to the rear end as well.

That was before the Alpha came out with the upgraded bars to accommodate the added weight of the V8.

I've been "told" that you can buy those Alpha bars now and do the same thing for a bit less.

Look her up on Ebola or over on the X......It's all pretty much documented.

Yes, that's Bebe rig. All that stuff on her rig is by H2OHummers. Yes, its heavy. Yes, its expensive. And yes, its a PITA to get to the winch when you actually need to use it. [:@]

As for the t-bars. The Sway-A-Way ones (that both Bebe and I have) have a higher spring rate than the ones on the Alpha.

Hi Sewie,

I forgot you had those guys (TB's)as well. How are they working out?

I was actually worried they'd be too bouncy without the extra weight of a winch on the front. But they're awesome. Combined with the Bilstein shocks all around, it rides better than the day I drove it off the lot. Even with the front cranked up, there isn't much nosedive or body roll.
