Bumper bolts?

Hiya all Smile

My defender came with a winch bumper and winch which i have decided to fit, the front bumper has the normal set of 4 vertical bolts with the captive plates.

There are two extra lower fixings on the winch bumper lower down that are not used on my stock bumper, what bolts go into these?


thanks Smile

If I was a gambling man, I'd say they're the bolts in the bag in your picture!

From memory they're M10* 130 or similar for use bolting in JATE rings

Have just replaced these on mine whilst refurbishing my winch tray.
They are M10 120mm and fit in the existing chassis holes.

I expect you currently have bolts there for the lashing eyes. Depending on how the winch tray sits amd width of rear braces and whether ypu wish to retain the lasing eyes will determine if you can use existing bolts or replace them with longer ones. Cheers

As above. It’s where the standard lashing point bolts.

Another question if i can folks, I have fitted it however i had to chop a bit off the 'grille surround?' (you can see the bit in pic)

Now with the bumper on the rear winch mount bolts are under the remaining bit of grille surround, should i also just chop this off and remove some grille fins? its floppier than a 5.25" so should not affect anything i think, just seems odd to have to remove so much.

How much, if any, you need to remove depends on the bumper style and winch to be fitted. Sounds like yours is setback for a better approach angle therefore expected some panel trimming to be done. Cheers
