Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see the numbers on what we should spend our time on first. Front winch bumper or rear bumper with swing out spare tire carrier. Which ever there is more demand for what
we will prototype first.
Thanks in advance for all your input

Front winch bumper...if I can afford one .

Front bull bar spare mount gets my vote...

Rear Bumper with swinger + hitch (or 3 hitches)

if I can afford one

any ballpark on prices yet?



Although the Front mount tire sounds interesting,could you do Tire and winch
on the front?(a hitch there to would be good too)

Right on!

front winch bumper with tire carrier is possible but would be an option.
rear bumper with swing out tire carrier and hitch was what we had in mind....either that or a hitch mounted to frame separate from bumper.

Winch and spare tire at the front would end up adding a lot of weight on a already nose heavy vehicle...

I have a winch waiting to be used but realistically, the rear swing out tire mount would be more practical, especially if it incorporates 2 cages for fuel cans.

Jesse,
Do you think any of these pictures could be entertained? (the 1st pic is mostly good for the table idea, the rest seems on the weak side) I like how the bumper carries on the sides... I have other pics where they incorporated a Jack-All in frony of the spare and had jack-up points incorporated on the bumper and sliders. Thanks again, good to have you on board!

wrap around

rear bumper will much more sturdy than any of those. basket for cans is a given. Whatever I come up with will be strong and to your liking, I promise. Just need to know what has more interest first. Pricing will be estimated within the next week or so.

rear.

A jack-all with accessories is smaller, cheaper and more flexible than a permanent winch anyways imo.

Jack points on the sides of the bumper would be handy too.

Rear bumper with swinger. It looks like the front mount of a spare is the only option for guys having rear hitch and trailers already unless they want to start over.

rear - to make room for a wvo tank

ok....so far looks like the rear is the favored one. Will wait one more day on replies.
Thanks guys for all the input. :)

yeah, im with glenn... but i already have a rear swing out spare tire carrier. but it does seem like a lot of people are worried about fuel capacity for WVO.
really, how many of delica drivers need a winch?

will the rear also have receiver? or will you still need a seperate hitch?

I vote for rear swing out tire carrier too. Glad the fuel can holder is a given. Can we have an option of carrying a 5lb propane tank like in the first picture David posted?
