Re: Infinite Inc winch Bumpers

Infinite Inc made the bumper for the Giveaway XJ. I don't think they have a portal into cyberspace yet.

Maybe someday these will be offered to the unwashed masses.

infinite inc? are you talking about this bumper?

it looks very nice. exactly like beezil's bumpers.

i thought those were never going into production.

Heres a rough draft of the Hanson Installed. They didnt send any Hardware
I cant afford the Powdercoat right now so its bare metal

Thats over $2000 worth of Orthodontics for the 15yr old Jeep
Hanson $700 shipped
Be cool custom radiator $650
PIAA lights $150
B&M supercooler $90
Warn 8000 $600
Perma-Cool fram cooler $35

The bumper is remarkably light. My old setup was much heavier
My winch solenoid is under the hood and you can kinda see the remote arm plugin at the way right top.
Should be driving the yard bird in about a week if I can make the steering and solid Motor/Trans Mounts work

you mean the D-Ring tabs?

 

[LawlessXJ]

yep, that's sweet. I just realized (I knew something was missing in other photos without a winch mounted up) there's no accomodation for a fairlead in their design.... just shoot the string straight off the roll.

Well, not sure how interesting it is, but I'm sure you're correct.... Then it was probably an '01... but I found a pic of the jeep. I think it was an aniversary addition what ever year that was.

who's jeep and who's bumper?

That bumper (new Hansen) looks great! Now do something about that tangled winch cable!!!! =P

 

[THE_OWL]

There is a fairlead mount. It mounts underneath the winch bolt pattern and fits rather nice
I dont have it on yet tho.

In the new 4Wheel Drive Hardware catalog I just received, there is a picture of a yellow 2dr XJ illustrating the BW flares. As far as I can tell, mounted up front is by far the best looking XJ bumper I have yet seen. It is angled for good departure and has winch provisions, as well as recessed round fog lights and, but what really got my interest (as far as looks), is it has the beveled top edge that mimics the contours of the original bumper and the XJs side panels, that way the bumper really looks like a factory piece. Hanson does this with his rear bumper but has not done it with the front. Years ago when I spoke to him I suggested he do that treatment to the front as well, he said it would be quite a bit more labor but he agreed it would look better, he was going to custom make me one, but then Warrior became a street vehicle and I cancelled that bumper.

I dont know who makes the bumper I speak of, maybe someone knows, maybe Ill contact 4WD Hardware.

I think mebbe trailready does. They are the only ones I know who do flushed fogs

Scratch that, confirmend my suspicions, the bumper is a Trail Ready unit, the recessed lighting gave it away.
