Mike C. Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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.

Oldmopars Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 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. I 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 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.

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.
