Winch bumpers.

[Mike C.]

With the inevitable demise of Olson brothers. Who will be our new go to supplier for winch bumpers to fit 1/24 and 1/25 Ford, Chevy Dodge and Jeep trucks with the Warn and Hickey winch bumpers. Maybe even some tubular and newer style bumpers.

Post Pictures of what you want. I am sure we can make it happen. (I know a guy  )

All very do-able. 

Let me work on this and see if we can make it happen.

Hey Thanks Scott! I'm sure there will be a huge market for these.

I'd be all over that second one, especially with its companion rear bumper.

Something a bit more vintage.

That looks very similar to a bumper that that you probably can't get from Olsen anymore.

[Oldmopars]

So, you asked for this. I made it this weekend. The Warn 8274 is created off of "blueprints". The bumper is just a design based off the pictures.

These are great, my goodness. How are you going to offer them?

[Mike C.]

1/24 or 1/25? And how do I get these? Thanks.

[Oldmopars]

I'm working on that right now. 

These are actually 1:1 at the moment. However these will get scaled down to the correct scale before printing. So, they could be offered in 1:32, 1:25/1:25, 1:16, 1:8, etc. 

Printing them in 1:24 may be best, if they are a little too wide, they can be trimmed down a little bit to fit, but that makes them fit the widest range of trucks. 

[Mike C.]

1:18 could work for those FMS square bodies.

Winch with the fair lead will be great on Jeep models.

For those of you interested in the '99 Silverado, a quick google search come up with a lot of interesting winch bumpers.

Texas 3D Customs have the file and is ready to print them. You may have to ask for them.

This is next on my list of projects to tackle, I got a little too wrapped up in the slant six

Is the center drop rear bumper going to be offered? That is what I'm most interested in so I don't have to build my own.

Yes, the front with winch and rear with drop are what he has right now. 

I don't like to waste time on things that won't sell. If nobody buys them, it is time I could have spent on other projects that someone else wants. So, if these first bumpers sell and do well, I will be on board for making several more designs.
